Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi,

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have tried installing ImageMagick using both the ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-Q16-x64-dll.exe installer and the ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-Q16-x86-dll.exe installer. I didn't receive any errors with either, but the executable convert.exe does not appear in any of the ImageMagick directories, and there's also no /bin subdirectory. Everything else I read seems to assume these should exist. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

When you install, you must check the option to install "legacy" utilities, you'll then get convert.exe, composite.exe, etc. You can also just use the magick.exe program and use 'magick convert', 'magick identify', etc.

Thanks! That did the trick. I'm installing ImageMagick to be able to use the Thunderbird Latex add-on, and it wants the convert command there.

Note to the developers: if there's no longer a "convert.exe", perhaps suggesting on the web site and in the installer that I should run convert.exe to check whether ImageMagick installed correctly is not the best way to go

Thanks again!

I concur about this note. I installed IM yesterday, gave up and uninstalled when I could never get the convert command to work with CLI in Windows 10 . This morning I decided to try looking on the forums and found this post.
