Wand does not work under python 64 bit and imagemagick 64 bit: cannot find shared libraries

Question

I am running python 2.7 64bit on windows and have installed imagemagick 64 bit (latest version available) with the necessary headers and env variables as stated in the guide. Unfortunately I am able to install wand via pip but as soon as I try to use wand I get this error:

>>> from wand.image import Image
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wand\image.py", line 20, in <module>
    from .api import MagickPixelPacket, libc, libmagick, library
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wand\api.py", line 205, in <module>
    'Try to install:\n  ' + msg)
ImportError: MagickWand shared library not found.
You probably had not installed ImageMagick library.
Try to install:
  http://docs.wand-py.org/en/latest/guide/install.html#install-imagemagick-on-wi
ndows

Has anyone experienced this issue? Thanks in advance.

Install the version: ImageMagick-6.9.8-9-Q16-x64-dll.exe

Wand doesn't support the latest version as of yet.

Thank you, I've been searching ImageMagick forums for couple of hours, this is the only answer that solved the problem – Georges D Jul 12 '17 at 16:58
