Error running grunt-responsive-images task

I'm trying to set up grunt with grunt-responsive-images, and getting the following error:

Warning: Could not execute GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick: gm "identify" "-ping" "-format" "%m:%T:%s" "assets/_img/bgAbout.jpg" this most likely means the gm/convert binaries can't be found

The npm and ImageMagick are both installed, have also tried GraphicsMagick (with default engine) to no avail.

I've verified all my versions of node/grunt/packages and I'm on Windows 10 if that's helpful info.

relevant bits from gruntfile.js:

responsive_images: {
    dev: {
        options: {
            engine: 'im'
        },
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            src: ['**/*.{gif,jpg,png}'],
            cwd: 'assets/_img/',
            dest: 'assets/test/'
        }]
    }
},

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-responsive-images');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['responsive_images']);

All relevant help I've found points to ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick not being installed, but it is. What could be hindering the communication between the task and IM?

Ugh. foiled by Windows UAC! Ran cmd as administrator, and it worked like a charm. Why did it take so long for my basic customer support troubleshooting reflexes of yore to kick in?
