What exactly are you trying to do? Could you give an example?

Unins000.dat is the uninstall file of Inno Setup ( http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ), which is a free installer for Windows programs, so I assume you are using IM under Windows. You can uninstall IM but just deleting its program folder tree; AFAIK there are no files in other locations. There ar...

I have no specific experience with MSSQL, but some ideas. Obviously, you installed the 32 bit version of IM and this installation functions correctly, as your tests with the CMD box prove. So there is a problem with calling a CMD environment in which IM is running from MSSQL. I would try to * run an...

No idea.
What exactly is the message in the cmd box?
What happens if you just call Identify?
Do you think it's a good idea to incorporate a dollar sign in a directory name ($magick)? Or where does it stem form?
Possibly another program which is also named "identify"?

I did try that but it still would not work. The parser was getting confused on the FOR command with all those quotes. No, It never does, unless the expression is grammatically incorrect. The DOS batch language may be very crude, but it definitively functions flawless. I had to use a temp file for t...

FOR /F %%x IN ('"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q8\identify.exe" -ping -format "%%w" "%WD_FILE%"') DO SET IMGWIDTH=%%x FOR /F %%y IN ('"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q8\identify.exe" -ping -format "%%h" "%WD_FILE%"') DO SET IMGHEI...

I have just tried and I couldn't verify this behaviour. On our Windows 2008 R2 server, IM 6.7.1-6 processes filenames containing multiple points or percent signs correctly. I tried this by typing the command directly into a command box.

I haven't tried that so far, but I could give it a try, if you would describe your problem in more detail and give some sample code. I am dealing with the ways getting ImageMagick to work under Windows (see link below) and I found that in the end it mostly does what it promises. Usage under Windows ...

I think that there are two errors in your command: 1) First of all, single quotes must be substituted by double quotes under Windows, as explained at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#conversion 2) Second, there are too many commas in your point list. The example given in the "DOS box&q...

Yes, it definitively matters where you place the -density option.

I may be wrong, but your original PDF looks like a scan to me, i.e. a raster image wrapped in a PDF. these can be extracted losslessly with pdfimages from xpdf, see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#auxiliary.

Now that I know how to install the COM+ object ( http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19332 ), I have just successfully envoked the COM+ object from Excel VBA: Sub Testit() Set img = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1") img.Convert "logo:"...

There is a check box that needs to be marked during the installation. The COM+ object is not installed by default. Everything's fine now.

Correct. Sorry, my fault. I have installed versions of IM perhaps a hundered times on various computers. I got so used to the installation procedure that I no more recognised what was written there. The COM+ object is not installed by default, as I see now.

As I don't seem to get an answer at http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19332 , I thought I might try it over here. It's possibly simply a bug. The COM+ object should be installed automatically by the Windows Installer Routine, shouldn't it? http://www.imagemagick.org...

I tried to use the COM+ object for the first time in order to solve the problem set in http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19326 . So far, I just called a DOS cmd when using IM via VBScript. (We solved the problem otherwise then.) http://www.imagemagick.org/www/ImageM...
