New installation does not work

Post by teo toon »

I just installed ImageMagick exe for Windows. I installed GhostScript before installing ImageMagick. The ImageMagick Display icon appears on my desktop and I can open a window and load an png image (svg gets no functionality whatsoever) and the menus File, Edit, View, Transform, Window, and Help are visible. There is absolutely no menu listing for converting the image to anything else ( want to convert either an svg or png to .ai). HOw can I get any such functionality?

I have downloaded this .exe twice once in IE and Firefox; and uninstalled and deleted everything between downloads. Why is the application malfunctioning?

I had a functioning ImageMagick on a laptop before that computer went belly up. So what is wrong with this current release?

What do you get from:

Code: Select all

convert -version
Do you have other delegates? How did you install IM --- from binary or source?


For SVG, you need either Inkscape or RSVG delegate.
