Hi,

I try to install ImageMagick under Windows 7. The problem is I encounter the error during the final stage of the installation procedure. Here it is:

***
Unable to execute file:
ppm

ShellExecuteEx failed; code 2.
***


Could you tell me please what the reason is.

You tried to execute a command called "ppm"

ppm is not a command it is the suffix of an image file format.

Without more info it is impossible to say more.

It looks more like windows is trying to 'execute' a "ppm" suffix file, using image magick and failing.
Sorry I can't really help you there.
