From nt-base.c, function NTRegistryKeyLookup(), a comment:
% Values are stored in the registry under a base path path similar to
% "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE\ImageMagick\6.7.4\Q:16" or
% "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE\ImageMagick\6.7.4\Q:16". The provided subkey
% is appended to this base path to form the full key.
Does that help?

Hello snibgo,

Thank you for your quick answer, it helps !

I have just checked the registry and I have found the path you mentionned.

However, I have also found the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ImageMagick\Current which contains the values below :
Image
Do you know if I can use these values ?

Thank you.

After searching more "seriously" on Internet, I found the link http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/http ... ndows.html which states :
When ImageMagick is installed, entries are added to the Windows Registry so that other programs may obtain information regarding the most recently installed ImageMagick. These entries are available under the registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ImageMagick\Current
My problem is solved, thanks again for your help.
