Failed Logo upload in Community 5.2

[desang]

When I try to upload a logo in the Admin Tools section I get an error message stating "Failure: error occurred during upload of new content". I checked Alfresco.log and the error message was

"[org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptNode] [http-apr-8080-exec-54] 09180461 Unsupported transformation: transformer.ImageMagick image/png to image/png" . I've looked through previous questions and tried different suggestions to no avail. If I drop the image in the Data Dictionary it uploads fine but it has a generic image thumbnail. When I open the image up, it appears in the previewer just fine. Any ideas as to what I should try next?

Do you have ImageMagick installed and is the alfresco-global.properties file pointing to the ImageMagick executable?

[desang]

I downloaded and installed the most recent version of ImageMagick and modified the global properties (shown below):

img.root=C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16
img.dyn=${img.root}\\lib
img.coders=${img.root}\\modules\\coders
img.config=${img.root}
img.exe=${img.root}\\convert.exe

Hello.

Other guy fixed the problem using the same approach you used, as you can see here https://community.alfresco.com/thread/233528-how-to-solve-the-image-upload-problem-for-dashboar-pane... 

Are you sure the paths are correct?

What do you see in the logs when Alfresco is starting?

So, after installing the latest version of ImageMagick and changing the global properties, it did work. The problem was that I was unable to stop and restart the local server due to not having admin privileges for this computer (work laptop). Once I was given the authority to stop and start the service and have Alfresco use the new properties, the image upload worked and my image thumbnail previews worked as well.
