so, i downloaded the delegate libpng-1.6.16.tar.gz from the IM site and un-tar/gz 'd it.
it's a directory and wondering if that get;s installed and how

It that case, you have to download libpng-1.4 (not 1.6) source code and have to compile it by yourself.
Also it seems other libraries are also missing, find those binaries or find sources of them and compile them...

You also may have to re-install the IM binary after compiling (not just un-taring) those delegates. Be sure that they compile without error. Some delegates require their own dependencies to be installed first. So check after installing each delegate to see if it failed to compile because it needed another dependency installed first.

thanks and i very much appreciate your help & time on this, both of you.

i have been planning decide to move ourselves to Windows 2012 server for IM asap for meeting deadlines.

any advice ? i saw few threads with unresolved issues for IM on Win 2012 server. havent found a successful install story , yet!

Thanks,

I am not a windows user, so can be of no help here on your last topic.

I find it much easier to install on a Mac. I use MacPorts to install all my delegates and then install IM manually from source. That way I can always upgrade IM to keep current.

That's not going to help if it needs libpng14. You could try installing libpng-1.4.16 which you
can get from ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/png/src/libpng14/ or
from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/libpng14/
Then untar/gz it, then "configure; make install". Unfortunately you can then expect a lot
of other applications to break because they are needing something other than libpng14.
Your alternative is to build ImageMagick from source and linking it with your new libpng16,
once you've configured and installed that.
