Why does adding the Images library fail in Julia?

I'm getting started with Julia 0.3.10 under Windows 7. The language installs and runs, but I can't install the Images package. When I type:

Pkg.add("Images")

I get output that looks OK, but then the lines below. It looks as if Inno Setup has detected a version problem, but I'm not sure whose version is problematic. I've tried deleting everything "julia" and re-downloading, to no avail. Also, I've searched the web for various pieces of this error message, also stackoverflow; nothing appears to be relevant.

After Pkg.add("Images"), a few dozen normal-looking lines, then:

INFO: Building Images
INFO: Installing ImageMagick library
INFO: Attempting to Create directory C:\Users\Jim\.julia\v0.3\Images\deps\downloads
INFO: Attempting to Create directory C:\Users\Jim\.julia\v0.3\Images\deps\usr\lib\x64

INFO: Done downloading file [link at julialang.s3.amazonaws.com]/bin/winnt/extras/innounp.exe
INFO: Changing Directory to C:\Users\Jim\.julia\v0.3\Images\deps\downloads

Here's where I see the first sign of trouble:

Signature detected: Inno Setup Setup Data (5.5.6) (u)
This is not directly supported, but i'll try to unpack it as version 5500; Version detected: 5506 (Unicode)
Critical error: The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.

Unpacking failed. This version is not supported.

Ah another reason to hate windows. Of course adding this package on Ubuntu had no issues so I switched to my windows installation and low and behold had the same issue as you. The error message as it turns out is quite cryptic but this is how I solved the issue. First I did:

    Pkg.update()

Then I logged completely out of julia and I went to: Link and downloaded the ImageMagick-6.9.1-9-Q16-x64-dll.exe making sure to when going through the downloader options to check mark the box that reads: "Install development headers and libraries for C and C++".

I allowed the installer to install to its default directory and then reopened julia and used the following command:

    Pkg.build("Images")

Which it successfully did and then I was able to use the images package with the normal command of:

   using Images
