Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I installed the ImageMagick 6.4.4-1 Q8 static on a machine.

I copied the convert.exe on another machine and run from the command prompt:
convert.exe -version and it wasn't returning anything.

As it was the static build, I wasn't thinking something else was needed to run it.
Do you have any idea what should be used with the tool?

You must build ImageMagick yourself if you want an uninstalled static version of ImageMagick. The binaries we provide requires the Windows registry so simply copying the convert.exe program is not sufficient. The uninstalled version you build does not consult the Windows registry and is therefore more portable.
