Imagemagick error: not being able to read EPS files

hello,

i have imagemagick 6.5.9-5 Q16 (x64) running under windows 2003 x64 server.

i have a problem: imagemagick not being able to read EPS images, i am receiving the following error:

ImDisplayDoc Function [DoReadImage] reported an error.
imdisplay.exe; PostScript Delegate Failed 'C:\homepage.exp': no such file or directory @ error/ps.c/ReadPSImage/766

I tried downgrading, tried the 32-bit release and still recieving same error, any idea?

Thanks in advance

jmhabis2,

ImageMagick has always been less than stellar in it's handling of EPS files. Typically this stems from issues with PostScript support, I believe. Please do the following: Run the command "identify -list format" and see if the results show "PS rw+ PostScript" or something similar, so we can be sure your build is properly supporting PS. Let us know what you find out.

Cheers,
LHerrou

Hey LHerrou,

I ran the command and the result was that both PS and EPS are there , PS has rw+ and EPS has rw-

still having the same problem. I shall try un-installing and re-installing again.

As i read, installing ImageMagick 64 bit release requires that you install the C++ runtime packages (both x64 and x86) could those cause an issue ?

Thanks

Excellent. I'm glad you were able to get it sorted. Can you post some more details on the registry fix, for others who may encounter the problem?
