Ghostscript on Windows

[ronaldploeger]

Hi,

I have two versions of Ghostscript installed on my windows machine. ImageMagick is using the incorrect one. How to I tell ImageMagick which one to use?

Thanks,
Ronald

Check the PATH environment variable. It probably has the wrong one in the PATH.

Hi Pete,

no - this is not the problem.

I've just been digging around in the code and IM gets the path to ghostscript from the registry. You would probably have to reinstall the one you want IM to use (or meddle with the registry which I wouldn't recommend).
It searches both HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE for one of these versions:

Code: Select all

"GPL Ghostscript",
"GNU Ghostscript",
"AFPL Ghostscript",
"Aladdin Ghostscript"

Hi Pete,

thanks for taking the time for digging this up for me. I appreciate it.

Best,
