When I had WinNT I had no problem with executing convert.exe in every directory on harddisk. Now I have WinXP and after installing ImageMagick I can not execute convert exe from any directory except ImageMagick’s one - I obtain note File not found. (IM path is correctly set in WXP path variable, but not during installation, manually).
Surprisingly Imdisplay is working correctly everywhere.
When I copy convert.exe to desired directory, I can execute it without problem. It seems, that WinXP don’t respect path for DOS program.
Do anybody have any idea?
Thanks

path problem versus convert.exe

Re: path problem versus convert.exe
I found the idea myself.
Windows has program with the same name: convert.exe in \windows\system (it converts FAT to NTFS). So they look stupidly at my convert -negate picture1.jpg picture2.jpg, because they try to run windows program first.
I solve the problem simply - I renamed ImageMagick’s convert.exe to converta.exe and works wonderfully from any corner of my HDD as converta -negate picture1.jpg picture2.jpg
