Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello,

On
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows
there's this text:
"If you are not sure which version is appropriate, choose ImageMagick-6.6.4-2-Q16-windows-x64-dll.exe."

I suggest to replace this with ImageMagick-6.6.4-2-Q16-windows-dll.exe, i.e. without the x64. Not everybody has 64 bit. (I have it at home, but not at work).

It was correct until a few weeks ago, the default was the 32 bit version.

Fixed as you suggested. Thanks.

I would also suggest to list the default (32-bit) choice first. Now an impatient user will download the first listed 64-bit version and then wonder why it doesn't work. Anyone wanting to download a 64-bit version will probably have the necessary expertise (and patience) to find the correct version from the list.

While Googling, I found many problems that were probably caused by users having 64-bit ImageMagick and a 32-bit Perl. This is probably caused by installing 64-bit versions without actually intending to do so...
