Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi, I apologise if I've placed this post in the wrong place. I have a few legacy web apps (classic ASP) that use Image magick - These apps have been running fine until yesterday - I installed windows updates yesterday and now the web forms will not upload or upload /resize images. I've looked at the patches and there doesn't appear to be anything which would cause it. It's the same problem in all apps that use imagemagick. Does anyone have any advice as to how I might troubleshoot this? I'm using ImageMagick-6.9.2-Q16 64bit. I checked the permissions to see if the patches had changed anything but they seem fine.

I do not use Windows, so any bat files you have developed are beyond me. But piease provide you older IM version and new IM version in more detail using
Perhaps you are missing some delegate library. Also provide one of your bat files and one of the Windows users may be able to offer more suggestions, if it is a bat file issue.

If your apps are failing, then perhaps list the apps. Perhaps the old apps are incompatible with newer IM versions. Check with the apps developers

Also do you get any error messages?

Hi, I probably wasn't being too clear. I haven't changed IM in anyway, all that happened was I upgraded Windows Server 2012 R2 last night with their latest updates, nothing else has changed. Do you think its worth while re-installing IM or even installing a 32bit version?

I am no expert on Windows, but it is possible that you need to reinstall IM with the correct IM version for the Windows OS you have, especially if you have changed from 32bit to 64fit or vice-versa. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows

Hi, those Microsoft guys appear to be at it again - I believe I found the issue. See this update https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3104002 and look at the 'Known Issues' - not sure why you'd want to roll-out an update you know breaks people's applications. Uninstalled the upgrade and awaiting to restart the server to see if ImageMagick starts to works again.

All good. I guess the moral of the story is read in detail every update you install from Microsoft...
