ImageMagick-6.5.7 win32 installer env cleanup
Posted: 2009-11-11T02:12:19-07:00
Environment: Win XP Pro SP3, all updates
Installers:
ImageMagick-6.5.7-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe
ImageMagick-6.5.7-5-Q16-windows-dll.exe
These installers seem to have left the following in the System Path environment variable:
c:\program files\imagemagick-6.5.1-q8;
Is there a path search performed to clean out old directories?
If so, is that search case sensitive? That wouldn't match the path above...
Best practice might be
if an imagemagick path exists in the System Path,
and no matching folder exists,
remove the old path from the System Path.
Caveat:
It may be that the 6.5.1 uninstaller left it there...
