hi,

my rails app on Windows 7 cannot successfully resize and upload images with the following error returned.

Failed to manipulate with MiniMagick, maybe it is not an image?
Original Error: identify -ping C:/Users/User/xxxxxxxxx.jpg

the error message is originally returned by minimagick and passed to carrierwave.

i understand that the problem is likely not coming from minimagick but i want to make sure that the components which i installed are compatible.

1. am i having the correct versions of the following components installed? any compatibility issue here?

gemfile
"activerecord", "2.3.14"
"carrierwave", "0.4.10"
"mini_magick", "3.2.1"
"rails", "2.3.14"

Platform
windows 7 64bit
ruby 1.8.7
imagemagick (installation path = C:\ImageMagick-6.7.2-Q16)

2. any advice on how to fix the error?

i'm trying to describe everything that i know, please help.
