Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,

I've installed ImageMagick via the Windows self-installer, both the ImageMagick-7.0.5-7-Q16-x64-dll.exe as well as the ImageMagick-7.0.5-7-Q16-x64-static.exe files for my Windows 10 64-bit OS. I've used both with the same problem.

I am trying to use the command line, but when I run magick.exe, there's a brief flash of the Windows Command Prompt and then it simply shuts down. Alternatively, when I try to run convert.exe, there's a similar issue, although the flash lasts a few seconds and I can see it running through some text. This happens when I run both files as Admin, as well.

The ImageMagick Display program runs fine.

What's happening here? I can't find much information on this anywhere.

Thank you.

ImageMagick is a command line program you'd normally run by entering commands in a Windows CMD shell or from a BAT script. You might find it helpful to read the material at THIS link to get you started.

What was your exact command? If all you put was magick.exe, then that explains it. You did not give any input or output image to process. There is now GUI. You have to provide your full command line in the CMD window.
