[magick-users] Install problems on Vista

Hi,

Running as admin, I am attempting to install ImageMagick-6.4.9-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe on both a 32 bit Vista machine and a 64 bit Vista machine.  On both machines, the install fails and shows the following error:

Unable to execute file:
ppm

ShellExecuteEx failed; code 2
The system cannot find the file specified

I tried various options, both not installing and installing the perlmagick and c header and include files.  I still get the error message.  I also tried installing ImageMagick-6.4.9-10-Q16-windows-x64-static.exe on the Vista 64 bit machine.  It also did not work.

As a side note, when I checked my path variable it had not been updated to include the imagemagick install directory. 

I looked through the last 6 months of the mailing list and couldn't find anyone a post about this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Tim

P.S.  Sorry if this is a 2x post.
