Disabling openMP in windows server

[yuvpurush]

I am using Imagemagick 6-7-8-2 on a windows server. From the earlier forums i gather that in order to disable openMP, one needs to update configure.xml and recompile and reinstall the application.

I do not know how to recompile in a windows server. Is there any installer available with a disabled openMP?

Edit policy.xml and set the threads resource to 1. To completely disable OpenMP you would need to compile ImageMagick from source and not enable the OpenMP language extension. However, seeing threads to 1 will restrict all algorithms to just one core on your host without the need of recompiling ImageMagick from source.
