Best idea is to pull down the old archive versions of IM and build the binaries yourself.

Old archives can be found at Source Forge (including some windows binaries)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/imagemagick/files/


NOTE I do not recommend any IM older than IM v6. Also if you do use IM v5 or earlier keep the command lines very simple with ONE (1) image processing operation per command. If you don't you will likely have problems with the order of operations.

See the top section of http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/ which was written right at the start of IM v6 usage. It is this new multi-operation handling that saw a resurgence in the use and abilities of IM.
