On Windows 8.1, I tried to upgrade from v6.9.2-5 to 6.9.5-3. It fails for me.
The problem is that v6, like v7, now requires that its directory is on the system path.
Previously, I could run "%IM%convert" where %IM% pointed to whatever installation directory I wanted, and IM would find its files. This no longer works.
It means that a workflow can no longer use integer versus HDRI as required, or different Q-numbers, or pre-built versus home-build development. To do this would require me to constantly change the system path, which is crazy.
Perhaps there is a good reason for this change. If so, what is it? But I think it's a bug.
