IM 6.5.7-3 crashes on Windows 7 pro 64bit (semaphore.c:220?)

[ssproessig]

Hi all,
every exe that comes with IM 6.5.7-3 crashes on my machine (Win7 Professional, 64 bit). I tried the x86/x64 Q8 and Q16 static and dll versions - always the same (I have both C++ 2008 Runtime (x86/x64) installed).

Afterwards I downloaded the current sources and started a debug build. Running the resulting exe brought up that an assertion in semaphore.c (line 220) fails. is anybody familiar with that problem?

Many thanks
Soeren

We just ran ImageMagick 6.5.7-3 on Win7 Professional 64-bit and the commands completed without complaint. Is there a particular command that fails for you? From the command line does this command work:

convert logo: logo.png

? It would be helpful if we could reproduce the problem otherwise we need a stack trace to determine what ImageMagick is doing when it fails.

After reinstalling with ImageMagick-6.5.7-3-Q16-windows-x64-static.exe again the crahes are gone. >>convert logo: logo.png << works without a problem.

The problem occurred in convert.exe, whether i gave command-line options or not. When compiling from source, it happened using single and multithreated Solutions.

I'm seeing the same problem, but uninstalling and reinstalling hasn't solved the problem:

I have VC++2008 SP1 installed on my computer, so the runtime libraries are already present.

The IM installer is not installing the ImageMagick Perl extension, even though I have ActivePerl 5.10.1.1006 64-bit installed (in the default location C\Perl64).
