Installing to a CD (Or Running Without Installation)

[Ambuoroko]

Hello everyone. I am trying to find a way to install ImageMagick to a CD, so that the command-line tools could be used on various Windows computers without the need to install ImageMagick locally. Is there any way to do this?

The reason I am doing so is so that I can use ImageMagick in a script which will automatically convert all image files in a given directory to a certain format, for further processing by another program. I cannot install anything on the computers which will run the programs.


Thanks for your help,
Ambuoroko

You need to build an "uninstalled" version of ImageMagick which is the default. An uninstalled version does not depend on the Windows registry to find its configuration file. Build a static version of ImageMagick and place all executables, DLL's, and XML files in a folder on the CD. To run you simply say something like:

• d:\ImageMagick\convert logo: logo.png

ImageMagick automatically looks in the same folder as the executable to find any of its dependencies.
