Runtime Problem for Normal User on Windows XP SP3
Posted: 2012-01-19T21:59:52-07:00
After being busy for a few months, I upgraded from ImageMagick-6.7.3-Q16 to ImageMagick-6.7.4-7-Q16 to see if a previously reported problem was fixed and was pleased to see that it was (thanks!)
Unfortunately, I have a new problem. I have multiple users defined on my system. I use Administrator when doing installations or maintenance. I use a "normal" user account for all other day to day activity to have at least some level of protection against malware and even my own inadvertent mistakes.
Following the instructions, I first logged on as Administrator and used the Control Panel to uninstall ImageMagick-6.7.3-Q16. No problems uninstalling. I then installed ImageMagick-6.7.4-7-Q16 accepting all defaults. Again, no problems or error messages.
Now, if I open a DOS prompt and run my test case as an Administrator, it works perfectly:
C:\temp>convert x1.svg x1.gif
C:\temp>
The file is rendered as expected (and the previously reported text alignment problem is fixed)
However, if I log off and log on as a normal user (no administrator privileges) and run the same test in the same directory, I get this:
C:\temp>convert x1.svg x1.gif
convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `x1.svg' @ error/constitut
e.c/ReadImage/532.
convert.exe: missing an image filename `x1.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCo
mmand/3016.
C:\temp>
If I open the DOS prompt using "run as" and run the DOS prompt as Administrator, it works fine again.
I don't remember this being a problem in the previous version...(?)
(By the way, the previous problem which has indeed been fixed was reported here:

and titled: "Text Offset Probem with SVG 1.1 Specification Example"
