I'm trying just the most basic imdisplay command, and I get the error

IMDisplayDoc function [DoReadImage] reported a warning imdisplay.exe: UnableToOpenConfigureFile 'magic.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/715

I get this when I display any file. Any ideas?

What is your IM version and platform? Please always provide that when asking questions. How did you install IM -- from binary or from source and which version of binary? Is it compatible with your Windows OS?

I'm running Windows 7, 32bit with ImageMagick-7.0.5-4-Q16-x86-static - installed binary. So I'm pretty sure it's compatible.

This suggests a major problem. Perhaps IM files have been deleted or moved. Do other IM commands work? Eg: A re-installation would probably fix the problem.

I tried your example above and I get the same error. I deleted my initial installation and reinstalled imagemajick. Still the same error.

K:\ImageMagick>magick rose: r.png
magick: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `magic.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/715.

Magic.xml is in the imagemagick directory and I can edit it via notepad and save changes. Any other ideas?

I suggest you try: This should write a load of text, including an error message. This will include something about where it is looking to find your config files. Then try: This will write that text to a file dbg.txt. Paste the contents of that file here.

I gave you one: "-debug all"
