Manually install libmagic about mime HOT 7 CLOSED

If you use x64 Windows:
1). Download dll's from that repo https://github.com/pidydx/libmagicwin64
2). Bad way, but quickly:
Drop the dlls in C:\Windows\System32
Another way:
Place it into any directory and set MAGIC environment variable with /path/to/libmagic1.dll

For x86 Windows:
1). Download dll's from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm
2). Same for x64.

Later I can add a property to simplify this.

from mime.

Also, you need to set MagicFilePath property.
e.x:
Mime.MagicFilePath = "/path/to/magic.mgc";

from mime.

I can't find a MagicFile property on Mime. I'm using version 1.1.0 from nuget.

from mime.

This property added after 1.1.0 release.
I will update package soon.
As temporary solution place it into
$LOCALAPPDATA/.magic/magic.mgc
(not tested).

from mime.

@monotore Package has been updated.

from mime.

Thanks. Works perfect!

Do you know where to get an updatet magic.mgc file? The one in https://github.com/pidydx/libmagicwin64 is two years old.

from mime.

From http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=libmagic1&searchon=names

Download amd64 package and unpack it via 7zip or another archiver.
Magic files located in:
/usr/share/misc/magic
/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc

Also, check libmagic version via Magic.Version property. Newest version of this magic file cannot be supported by your libmagic.dll
I do not remember which version in the repo, but I think 5.2.0.
