Hi, I have tried everything possible to get EBImage to work on my computer without success. I have read all available previous posts to this list and consulted the web page of Joel Granado (http://joelgranados.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/very-painful-ebimage- install-on-windows/) who provides a very detailed description of how to install EBImage on Windows. I have installed gtk+ 2.0 and ImageMagick. I added "gtk+\bin" path to the system environment and I installed EBImage using the recommended method: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("EBImage") I still however get the following error when trying to load EBImage in R: Loading required package: abind Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/vernonvisser/Documents/R/win- library/2.15/EBImage/libs/x64/EBImage.dll': LoadLibrary failure: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Hello Visser, EBImage works well on Windows but its dependencies (namely GTK+ and ImageMagick) could be difficult to install. First, which version of EBImage are you installing? You should use the most recent, EBImage 3.12.0, which works well on Win64. Second, are GTK+ and ImageMagick correctly installed? To check this, open a console and type "gtk-demo" and "display". You should not get any error message. Third, what is your current PATH? Type "echo %PATH%" in a console: gtk\bin and ImageMagick should be in the PATH directory.
