  <pre><code>The procedure entry point php_checkuid_ex could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What could be going wrong ?  below are the instructions I followed , I need to install image magick then ghostscript to turn PDF files into images..</p>
  
  <pre><code>Head over to http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/ and grab 6.5.4.6-Q16 (excellent mirror, THANKS!)
  Install on XAMPP machine to directory /XAMPP/ImageMagick/
  Ensure you have add path selected during install, or manually add path)
  Grab a matching DLL which you can find HERE (Linked to php_imagick.dll, TS on http://www.sk89q.com/2010/03/vc6-windows-binaries-for-imagick-2-3-0/)
  Edit your PHP.INI, uncomment or add-&gt; extension=php_imagick.dll (php.ini found in xampproot/php/
  Stop apache, save work, restart machine
  You should have no error upon boot, if version mismatch ensure you have not had a prior version of Imagick installed
