Getting Errors - Warning: Exec(): Unable To Fork [cmd /c ..] G2 ImageMagick

i have windows and I get lots of "Warning: exec(): Unable to fork [cmd /c ...]" at the module's step in the installer for G2 (on the ImageMagick module) under Windows/IIS. Now what?

well, if you are asking this question because you may have a microsoft windows server 2000, 2003 or just IIS on windows Xp, this will help; You need to give permissions for IIS to be able to read and execute the command interpreter ("cmd.exe"). Without it, Gallery won't be able to call external executables (like ImageMagick). Required steps:

Code:

1. Open a cmd-prompt with "Start", "Execute", then type "cmd.exe". Hit ENTER.
2. At the prompt, type:
C:\> cacls %COMSPEC% /E /G %COMPUTERNAME%\IUSR_%COMPUTERNAME%:R

This adds the "read" permission to the IIS-user for the cmd.exe. Close the prompt and then try activating the imagemagick module again.
