Ok, but I want the portable one.
And why does it say x86 if its not?
And are you going to stop uploading a portable 32 version?

Confusing :/

The portable ImageMagick binary release for Windows is now 64-bits. For 32-bits, you'll need to compile ImageMagick yourself.

The Windows binary releases are built manually. We're looking into an auto-build script. When we have it, we will be able to support additional binary distributions.

What does the above mean?

Are you saying that IM should not make this release or are you saying you cannot download it or compile it?

Hi. If it means anything, I'd also like to vote for a portable 32-bit release (x86).

There's still a significant number of users who have Windows 32 bit systems. I have approximately 80 - 100 new users every week who download a Windows 32 bit package of XOWA. (http://xowa.sourceforge.net). The recommended 32-bit imageMagick.exe wouldn't work because XOWA can be set up on an SD card / external drive, and carried from system to system. (i.e.: imageMagick needs to be portable).

If it takes a while to integrate the portable Windows 32 binary release, would you post the last known / good version to somewhere in http://www.imagemagick.org/download/? I was unable to find any legacy version of a portable Windows 32 version in the download area.

Thanks in advance.
