ImageMagick on php 5.4.9 on IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2

Stack

• Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition
  • Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
• Internet Information Services (IIS) (Version 7.5.7600.16385)
• php 5.4.9
  • x86
  • non-thread safe
  • compiled with vc9 (visual c++ 2008)

Notes

The key was to ensure that everything was compiled using the VC9 C++ runtime library (Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)).

For the dependencies package for PHP to load/use ImageMagick, the last build using VC9 was ImageMagick-6.8.9-1-vc9-x86.zip that can only be found in the php archives (linked below).

The second important step is ensuring that the PATH environment variable includes your ImageMagick installation path - in this case, it was C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.8.9-1.
