Subject: Elog/ImageMagick under windows 11 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me in getting the ImageMagick/figure scaling working on an elog running under windows 11 (Microsoft Windows Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.3880)).   I've followed the installation instructions and checked that $PATH contains the directory for both ImageMagick and GSS.  In a 'command prompt' window, when I execute "identify -version" from any directory I get the response:

 

Version: ImageMagick 7.1.1-35 Q16-HDRI x64 d775d2a:20240714 https://imagemagick.org
Copyright: (C) 1999 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: https://imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: Channel-masks(64-bit) Cipher DPC HDRI Modules OpenCL OpenMP(2.0)
Delegates (built-in): bzlib cairo flif freetype gslib heic jng jp2 jpeg jxl lcms lqr lzma openexr pangocairo png ps raqm raw rsvg tiff webp xml zip zlib
Compiler: Visual Studio 2022 (194033811)

 

which I believe is correct.  I've looked through the source-code for the elog and I believe that upon initialisation elogd is looking for a response containing "ImageMagick" somewhere in the response [image_magick_exist = (strstr(str, "ImageMagick") != NULL);] so I'm not sure I understand why this isn't being satisfied.  When I run elogd I get the statement "ImageMagick NOT detected. Image scaling will not work.".

I have the feeling that this is some security restriction in windows 11, so was wondering if anyone had seen this problem before and knew of a solution.

Many Thanks
