I'm unable to configure imagemagick or netpbm. everything on my gallery works fine except for no thumbnails, which is kind of a deal breaker. My advanced debug shows an error similar to this for each imagemagick and netpbm binary:

file_exists(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\public\ImageMagick-6.1.8-Q16\identify.exe)
Executing: cmd /c "
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\public\ImageMagick-6.1.8-Q16\identify"
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\public\gallery2\modules\imagemagick\classes\..\test\data\test.gif"
2> "D:\tmp\g2d6F.tmp" "
file_exists(D:\tmp\g2d6F.tmp)
filesize(D:\tmp\g2d6F.tmp)
unlink(D:\tmp\g2d6F.tmp)
Regular Output:
Error Output:
Status: -1 (expected 0)

most helpfully, every regular and error output line is blank. has anyone had success with making this work on IIS6? as i understand it, it's not technically supported on IIS6, but i'm trying to stick with a single platform.i've even gone to the extent of granting "everyone" full control privileges on these binaries, so i don't think it's a permissions error.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

whoops. should have been more specific. when i point gallery 2 to the directory containing the binaries, i get errors like the following for every file it tries to find (the following are the results for netmagick):

Have you authorized cmd.exe for use as an application in IIS6, and given the Network Service proper permissions to it?

sigh...that did that trick. i can't thank you enough for fixing what was a simple (and obvious) problem. for anyone who cares, grant your iusr_servername account execute privileges on cmd.exe.

thanks a million!

androidtopp, in IIS6? Hm, I was sure you needed to give the Network Service access. Oh well, it's not like it's the first time I'm wrong. :-)
