Gallery URL (optional but very useful):N/A
Gallery version:1.6
Apache version:?
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):PHP Version 4.4.1
Graphics Toolkit:ImageMagick
Operating system: Windows NT IIS96 5.0 build 2195
Web browser/version (if applicable): Firefox

Fist step of setup returns this explanation:

"Can't find identify.exe!
Missing optional binary composite.exe. Without composite gallery will not be able to watermark images, except you use NetPBM and have the pnmcomp binary installed.
1 of 3 ImageMagick binaries located."

This means that ImageMagick is installed on my host server, right? I just leave the path blank when it asks for it because I have no idea where it is on the server. I tried downloading a full version but it appears it needs to be installed on the server and I can't do that.

I also tried uploading NETpbm binaries (DLd from this site) to /Gallery/netpbm/ but I just get the error that it can't find netpbm at that location. Looking through other posts, I have the netpbm folder and all files chmoded at 777 (it won't let me change it to 0755 for some reason). The binaries I used are for a windows server and I chose the latest ones (1.4 I think).

I tried contacting my host to ask them to upgrade their Zend Optimizer so I could use Gallery2 but they refused to upgrade from 1 person's request. Given that, I assume asking them to do anything involving ImageMagick if it is them that have it installed will result in the same denial message.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Well, actually you have not installed ImageMagick at all. Because windows has a file with the same name as an ImageMagick component.
So Gallery "thinks" this windows file is a part of ImageMagick ;-)

You entered /Gallery/netpbm as path to your NetPBM? Thats obviously wrong for a windows server.
It must be something like 'c:\my\nice\folder\to\netpbm'

I don't think Imagemagick can be partially install.

Try ask your host to recompile again. Alternatively, you can use NetPBM locally.

Hello Roly,

You are right, that ImageMagick cant be installed partially. (well, theoretically you could *g*)
But please read my posting more carefully.

convert.exe is a part of ImageMagick. But is also a windows tool.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314097/en

So for Gallery it looks like a partial ImageMagick installation.
