I think you need administrative rights for this. Maybe your executable could check the registry and see if it is installed (simple example: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/05/05/10008146.aspx). And if it is not then installed tell the user where to download it or tell them they need to contact their IT support staff to get it installed. I think your application won't complain about the library until you call/use one of the classes in the Magick.NET library.
You could also decide to use the .NET 2.0 build since that requires the VS 2008 redistributable and it is very likely that it is installed on a system these days.
I don't think you can make it invisible to the end user at this point. But please let me know if you figure out a way how to do this.
