Magick++ path specified in InitializeMagick() ignored

Dear users, I would like to move the graphicsmagick files to another
directory but InitializeMagick() is ignoring the specified path.  I tried
to specify both relative and full paths to no avail as seen here:

// unable to pass path to InitializeMagick()
char* path = "E:/C++Samples/GraphicsMagickDemos/myfirsttest/gm_files/";
InitializeMagick(path);

I also tried all of the following combinations seen here:

InitializeMagick("../gm_files/");
InitializeMagick("..\\gm_files\"); // compiler error (due to escaping
double quotes character)
InitializeMagick("..\\gm_files\\");
InitializeMagick("E:\C++Samples\GraphicsMagickDemos\myfirsttest\gm_files\\");
InitializeMagick("E:/C++Samples/GraphicsMagickDemos/myfirsttest/gm_files/");
InitializeMagick("E:/C++Samples/GraphicsMagickDemos/myfirsttest/gm_files");
InitializeMagick("E:\\C++Samples\\GraphicsMagickDemos\\myfirsttest\\gm_files\\");
InitializeMagick("E:\\C++Samples\\GraphicsMagickDemos\\myfirsttest\\gm_files");

For now, I have the graphicsmagick files in the same directory as my EXE.

Please advise, thank you!
