Hello,
I have a problem on my windows server where ImageMagick-6.7.6-Q8 and gs9.05 is installed when I
try to convert a .pdf file to a .png one.
When I run the command logged in as administrator everything works but a simple user can't run the same command.
The output I get when I run as simple user:
convert.exe: Postscript delegate failed ......

Running convert -list configure

C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.6-Q8>convert -list configure

Does anyone knows what the problem is in this case?
Can I manually point the patch to GS?
It feels like it fails finding GS.

The patch to GS can be found in System Enviroment "PATH".

Hope someone can help

Best regards!

Under windows, a properly installed GS, has a registry setting the defines its location.

That is all I know - I myself am not a windows user.

OK,

That my be the problem. Maybe a simple user don't have rights to read the registry?
Same command works for a admin user. So when imagemagick is run by administrator the program
can find the path to GS but otherwise not.

Thank you!

Best regards!

Or the path leads to a 'user directory, and you are not that user? Windows has a weird method of user data separation.
But then I am not a windows user, so I'm probably blowing smoke.

I'll send a PM to a known windows user.

Anthony forwarded this message to me. I had already read it before, and I must say that I have no ready-made answer. As I've said several times, the interplay between IM and GS under Windows is a mystery to me, which has not been made easier as some registry settings seem to have moved to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

In our local network, all users have administrator rights on their client PC and very restricted rights on our server. This may not be really going by the book, but saves us from a lot of such troubles.
