Windows IM - where is convert?

Installing into Win 7 64 bit VM has me stumped. Normally I am a linux user but the PCLOS repo version of IM is ancient.

ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-Q16-x64-dll.exe file size 23.8M

Where is convert.exe / mogrify.exe ...etc?

Can someone please tell me which directory the installer puts these files? or what is used in their place? Even monitoring an installation fails to show their location (if they exist)

No such problem with the portable version

ImageMagick-7.0.1-6-portable-Q16-x64.zip file size 79.2M

At least I know the files are there.

What is VM?

Version 7 uses magick rather than convert.

The files are normally in a Imagemagick folder within the programs folder.

If you allowed the installer to write the program path to the environmental variables you should just be able to get it to work by using convert or in the case of version 7 magick.

Thank you for the information.

What is a VM? - a virtual machine, in this case Win7

Looks like the (windoze) installer needs bringing up to date ;)

more damn spaces in the command line to contend with.

Thanks again

Glad you are sorted and I will point the error in the installer out to magick.
