As long as you've got the convert.exe program somewhere, you should
have ImageMagick as setup as LDAO needs it.

I really wish I could duplicate this! I've had plenty of reports of
it, but I just can't make it happen on my system.
Anyway, to directly set LDAO, locate the Convert= setting in ldraw.ini
(it should be in the [LDraw] section). If it's not there, just add
it. The setting value is the directory where convert.exe is located.
On my system, it's something like this:
[LDraw]
Convert=d:\Apps\ImageMagick-4.0.9\

Hrmmm, I can still generate this error simply by giving it the path
d:\IM412\ for convert.exe

Yeah, I fixed it when I stopped trying to specify a directory
(incorrectly even) for the Step images. Dunno, but it works now, so
I don't care. :)
I need to keep paying more attention to lugnet.cad and the L-CAD
mailing lists - I can't wait to be able to call LDlite from LDAO.

Is the entire IM directory needed, or JUST the convert.exe? I'd like to
delete all the rest if all I need is convert.exe, but I don't have the time
to remove a file at a time until something breaks. Right now, it works,
but that's an awful lot of wasted disk space.

Short answer: I don't know.
Longer answer: start moving files out of the IM directory tree, and see what
happens when you run convert.exe.
Have fun :)
