LOG: DisplayName = Magick.NET-x64
(Partial)
WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: Magick.NET-x64 | Domain ID: 6
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.
WRN: This might result in the binder loading an incorrect assembly.
WRN: It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly,
WRN: that consists of the simple name, version, culture, and public key token.

1.My project is targetting AnyCPU and my machine is 63 bit
- Add reference of Magick.NET-x64.dll to the project.
3.Installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 - Installed Ghostscript 9.14 for Windows (64 bit) on machine
Project is rebuilded successfully[and dlls are in bin folder also] , but while running i am getting the below set of exceptions , Most issues discussed in other conversations but all solutions are pointing on a single thing -
install VC++ proper version and application target / [ i set both these as explained before ]. Still no luck , Anyone can help to find it out?
