Montage.exe in ImageMagick-7.0.8-12-Q16-x64-dll

Post by tuggleg »

Hello,
I have updated IM on a user's PC to ImageMagick-7.0.8-12-Q16-x64-dll. We call montage.exe via PowerShell and are now receiving errors:

'PS C:\Users\bennort> \\Path\Script.ps1
E:\image.jpg

montage : The term 'montage' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At \\Path\Script.ps1:81 char:1
+ montage -verbose -label %t -pointsize 25 -background '#FFFFFF' -tile ...
+ ~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (montage:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException'

I have suggested the user targets montage.exe directly such as 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.8-12-Q16-x64-dll\Montage.exe' but we are unable to find the executable file there. Did the executable files move in recent versions? In version ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16 montage can be found 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16\montage.exe'.

Thanks

When you install on Windows, there is a box you can tick if you want the legacy components like montage.exe. I guess you didn't tick it.

Installing legacy components fixed the issue. Feel free to mark thread as resolved.
