Me, too. No joy. Any guidance would be appreciated -or just some help in understanding. I don't "need" the Object in my Visual Studio project. I'm just a dumb guy horsing around, and I can accomplish what I want via the shell or with the 32bit version, but I'd really like to learn, and I'm at a point where I need some help understanding what is going on......
**********************************************************************************************************************
I can get the 32bit version of ImageMagick installed and register/add reference to the ImageMagicObject.DLL (ImageMagick-6.8.1-5-Q8-x86-dll.exe).
**********************************************************************************************************************
I can't get the 64 bit version to work. The below information is in regards to the 64bit version of ImageMagick:
I have also added registered c:\program files\imagemagick\imagemagickobject.dll and added a reference to it in my visual studio 2012 project.

I have also tried what is listed below with the .vbproj file edited as follows:
<platformtarget>AnyCPU</platformtarget>
changed to (in 2 places):
<platformtarget>x86</platformtarget>
(although I have installed 64bit ImageMagick on a 64bit machine)
I have a module, modTest within my project which contains the following at the very beginning:
Option Explicit On
Imports ImageMagickObject
---------------------------------------
When I do a:
Dim img As New ImageMagickObject.MagickImage
Upon debug I get a:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {5630BE5A-3F5F-4BCA-A511-AD6A6386CAC1} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."
When I remove "new" and do a:
Dim img As ImageMagickObject.MagickImage
img = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1")
Upon debug I get a:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Additional information: Cannot create ActiveX component."
When I do a:
Dim msgs As String
Dim im As ImageMagickObject.MagickImage
msgs = im.Convert("logo:", "-format", "%m,%h,%w", "info:")
Upon debug I get a:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in AAAAA.exe
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
