Recently lost my hard drive where I had WAMP installed and Imagick working. Someone else did that part for me way back. Reinstalling Win7 and getting everything working again = nightmare. So I installed the latest version of WAMP - NO Imagick. 3 days of trying all the solutions on this site (and some others - sorry) and got nowhere. Does anyone know of a "one shot" installation that will work out the box? Maybe a fork of one of them - I looked but found nothing Or maybe I should install Ubuntu onto an old PC and use that as a web server on my home LAN? Seriously - they are depreciating the GD library some time soon and Imagick is apparently the successor but no-one supports Imagick natively. Jumping through all sorts of hoops is no guarantee that it will work either as I have painfully found out. Thanks in advance people.
WAMP or XAMPP alternative that has Imagick already included

WAMP and XAMPP are not up to speed with the transition from the soon to be removed GD library to the ImageMagic library and it would seem that neither are planning to bring their products up to date any time soon. That leaves many users with a major problem as most web site developers need to be able to manipulate images at some time or another during their work. For users who are not at a reasonably high level of expertize as far as messing around in the guts of the (in my case, Windows) operating systems, this is a nightmare and can be downright dangerous. I did find what seemed to be a viable alternative in WampDeveloper Pro but unless you specifically go looking for it, their website is very hush-hush about the fact that its going to cost you over $125 to get it working. You only find out about this at the first run after installing.
Find an old drive, install it into your PC and make the PC dual boot using a Ubuntu distribution.
The second option will "ease" me into converting from Microsoft based OS reliance to a Linux based OS however if that does not work out, I do have the option to create an Ubuntu VM under the Windows system (I have used VM for a while under Windows) and use that in place of the other Windows based web server alternatives.
I may regret this decision BUT I may start wondering to myself "Now why did you wait so long?"
