[SOLVED] convert.exe - Application Error

Hello,

After installing and starting Alfresco 3.2 Community on my laptop (laptop Windows XP), I often get a Windows message telling :
convert.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xC0150004). Click on OK to terminate the application.
The message is displayed at server start, and when opening the Document Library.
The documents thumbnail of course is not displayed correctly.
Nothing appears in alfresco.log however.

I tried  :
1/ Rename convert.exe in imconvert.exe and add in alfresco-global.properties
img.exe=C:/Projects/xxx/alfresco-community-3.2.0/ImageMagick/bin/imconvert
Got the same message with imconvert.exe - Application error.

2/ Add the C:/Projects/xxx/alfresco-community-3.2.0/ImageMagick/bin/ directory in system path
Got the same message.

3/ Installed ImageMagick-6.5.4-Q16
Got the same message.

Any other idea ?

I reply to myself.
Replacing ImageMagick/convert.exe by the file convert.exe bundled with Alfresco 3.1 Entreprise did solve the problem.

I see the same error on 3.2.  I first thought it could be fixed by renaming convert.exe to imconvert.exe and adjusting the properties files accordingly, but not so.   Is that earlier version of convert.exe downloadable somewhere (I don't want to install the earlier version just to pick that one file up).

Can you post a link to the right converter?
THANKS

The problem is solved with the convert.exe bundled with Alfresco 3.1 Enterprise, which, I think, is accessible for Enterprise customers only.
Maybe, the convert.exe bundled with previous Community editions will work as well, but I haven't tested.
