Hosting PHP website that uses unix command “convert” on IIS

I thought I had checked so that everything would work when hosting this website on IIS but I missed a tiny detail. Apparantly an image upload form on the website requires a unix command or program called “convert” (usr/bin/convert) to resize, set quality and generate a thumbnail for the images. I think it’s called ImageMagick.

What would be the best approach to fix this? Is there perhaps a “convert” version for Windows or equivalent? I want to avoid rewriting the upload system too much. All suggestions except moving to a unix system are greatly appreciated.

Answer

There is a Windows version of ImageMagick:

ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/imagemagick/windows/ (or use any one of the other mirrors)

You will need administrator access to install it, though.
