I've tried using the installations from the ImageMagick website. The problem with those is PAR-Packer (pp) cannot create executables to access ImageMagick correctly. I keep getting NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat errors. I believe it's because the Imagemagick.org installations require settings within the Windows registry to access these decoder DLLs. And pp does not handle registry settings when it packs the exe file The ImageMagick on bribes.org don't require the registry settings to be there.

Nope, all wrong. PAR/pp cannot detect all the prerequisites, so it doesn't pack them all. This is easily tested by overriding %PATH% and attempting to run pp generated .exe. If some dlls aren't packed, you'll get an error message, so you go back and add those.

Has anyone out there gotten the bribes.org version to work, even just to execute IM functions in a regular perl script, that is not in a pp executable?

Bribes did not pack all the prerequisites. You can get his ppm to work by installing a compatible (same version bribes uses) binary from http://www.imagemagick.org/ and making sure to add it to your path (the installer does this through the registry).
