I am using a Windows 10 64bit machine running IDL8.4 which has installed on it the latest version of ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q8. I cannot make IDL see that I have ImageMagick on my machine, even though I checked the Path, in Environment Variables of the machine, and ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q8 is there. The spawn command works fine from the IDL command line [I asked it to do something else.] When using a cmd window ImageMagick also works. It is just that the two cannot work together. I have full admin privileges. Many thanks for a swift reply. MariLiza PS. I have tried all the usual, uninstalling IDL, ImageMagick, ghostview and ghostscript, and repeating, in case anyone suggests that.

What happens if you use spawn with the full path to the ImageMagick executable? If this works, maybe you can write a .bat script that calls ImageMagick with the full path. Then, perhaps you an use SPAWN to call your .bat script? David -HGS
