    Ok, those commands won't work with an L level license (Studio). If you have performance, change to that suite and try again.

    mkbitmap.exe and potrace.exe must both exist in the potrace folder?

    #6 would always return a value if MAGICK_HOME was set correctly.

    Somehow your system variables are not being recognised by Skill.

    Are you running Windows XP? I don't have experience with Vista. Maybe it behaves differently.
