Same problem for IM 5.5.2, except I got three message boxes...

Files depends now on MSVCRT.dll and MSVCP60.dll, good.
You are still distributing the xxx70.dll files, I wonder why :-)

Now, that's LIBXML2.dll that is missing...
Found it at http://www.fh-frankfurt.de/~igor/projects/libxml/index.html
I also had to download iconv
May I suggest you remove the obsolete DLLs and include these instead?

Still there. No problem, FYI.

They work, now! Great!

I crosspost to image-magick.bugs since .windows seems to have little 
traffic...
