Just a note to others that G2 is working fine in 64-bit (Apache 2.4.7, PHP 5.5.8) on Windows 7 x64.

Since I was upgrading components after a long time, some of the locations had changed. Let me note them here:

ImageMagick - versions after 6.7.6 failed because the identify program identifies GIFs in a slightly different way. I used ImageMagick-6.7.6-9-Q16-windows-x64-dll.exe from ftp.sunet.se. (old imagemagick binaries are not readily available.)

imagick PHP module from http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/. I used the thread-safe version - similar to the version of PHP that I had downloaded.

I used to use eAccelerator. This doesn't work in PHP 5.5 (at least, yet!). I was told to try opcache. This is still unstable in x64. I frequently got "Fatal Error Unable to reattach to base address", an error that is known to the developers and thus, disabled it altogether.

Versions in use (all 64-bit):
Apache 2.4.7
PHP 5.5.8
ImageMagick-6.7.6
SVN 1.8.5
imagick 3.1.2
MySQL 5.5
Windows 7
