Magick.xs.dll is either not designed to run on Windows...

Post by element22 »

I replied to an old thread about the same issue (link below) but I'm not sure if an old thread will get noticed, so I'll repost here. Win7 64 complains about a dll that comes with ImageMagic 7.0.3 Q8 64:
C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Image\Magick\Magick.xs.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original media or contact your system administrator or software vendor for support
Alternatively, the poster in the thread below says that ImageMagick v6.9.3 worked for him. Where can I get the 6.9.3 install file for Win 64?

Details: Win 7 64, Strawberry Perl v5.20.2, ImageMagic 7.0.3 Q8 64.

Thanks. Is there an archive with older binaries? The oldest I found in that folder was 6.9.5.9 which gives me the same error. The poster in the thread mentioned that v6.9.3 (a bit earlier) worked for him.

You would have to search the internet to find older versions. IM only archives certain ones.

This one only has very old ones. http://web.archive.org/web/201109210047 ... /binaries/

Thanks, I found v6.7.2 there and got it to work. BTW, how did you find that veidrodis site on Web archive? It does't exist outside the archive as of right now. Do you know of it from past experience?

Yes, I found it quite some time ago, when some one else needed an older backup.
