Hello everybody We installed ImageMagick 6.6.0 32-bit Q8 on a Windows 2003 Server and observed that it added the following registry key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications] "AutoRun"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ImageMagick-6.6.0-Q8\\convert.exe $*" Now I did some research as to why this could be useful and only found some quite old article [1] about the problems distinguishing Microsoft's convert.exe (FAT to NTFS conversion) and ImageMagick's own convert.exe. The solution outlined consists of adding a new Autorun registry key like this: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor] "AutoRun"="doskey convert=%MAGICK_HOME%\\convert.exe $*" So this is clearly not the same compared to what the ImageMagick installer is doing. Can anybody tell me why ImageMagick's Windows installer adds this regsitry key? Thanks in advance!
