# Please check the following prerequisites:

# 2) We only support dynamic (DLL) ImageMagick binaries

#
# 3) During installation select that you want to install ImageMagick's
#    development files (libraries+headers)
#
# 4) You also need to have ImageMagick's directory in your PATH
#    note: we are checking the presence of convert.exe and/or identify

# 5) You might need Visual C++ Redistributable Package installed on yo

I'll try it myself if I find a little spare time and will perhaps report back later.

Hi friends,

Thanks so much for your support.

I eventually got it running. For the benefit of anyone with similar issues...

I am using Win8.1 x64, with Strawberry Perl 5.22.0 x64 and ImageMagick 6.9.1-9 Q16 x64.

Previously I've just used the "Install PerlMagick" checkbox during the ImageMagick install, but that did not work this time. Instead I installed ImageMagick checking only the boxes to "x Add application directory to your system path" and "x Install development headers...". Then I ran "cpan Image::Magick" to download/build/install directly from CPAN. This failed, but I could see it was just due to some tests failing, so I ran "cpan" to enter the shell and ran "notest install Image::Magick", which worked.

My earlier efforts had failed in part because I was trying hard to get ActivePerl working, and I had rebooted between tries, and so my %PATH% wasn't clean. I ultimately uninstalled everything, rebooted, then installed Strawberry & ImageMagick, rebooted, then confirmed %PATH% in the System control panel, then starting using cpan.

I also tried 'ppm' but that didn't work, and I saw online some people were suggesting a third-party repository bribes.org but I didn't want to go there.

Show us the results of what you tried.   Either with Active, or Strawberry, or both.   Put console output listings if you can (in code tags within readmore tags, of course), or nitty-gritty details of exactly what you attempted and exactly what the result was.   You’ve of course looked at this page from imagemagick.org ... done a Super Search to find things like Image::Magick on Windows! ...?   Details please.
