So this morning for some bizarre reason this issue seems to only occur with this task. node v0.10.33 If i copy in the folder "grunt-contrib-imagemin" from another working project it seems to work fine, so i think its just when i went npm update --save-dev this morning that it messed things up.

I just installed node v0.10.33 without updating npm and faced the same problem. And just by copying a folder "grunt-contrib-imagemin" from a working project, the problem was solved.

We have the same problem on some windows machines (works on linux and osx) - 64bit Windows 7, node v0.10.33.

@Recchi Thanks

@Recchi Pretty bizarre solution, but it worked... Thanks!

Seems to be a problem with the jpgtran bin-wrapper, that avoids imagetran beeing installed properly. I've run imagemin without grunt and the error only occures when minimizing jpgs. Same problem is reported for the gulp tasks. So i guess, the the jpgtran guys are to blame...

See: imagemin/jpegtran-bin#54

Does anyone have a working copy of the files that they can share please?

@Recchi what if I do not have a project that uses this? I just installed this task and received this error. Should I pull it from the repo?

[florianmatz]

Try to install a really old version. I've tried 7.0.2 as provided above and it worked. I had to install it via bower because i could not copy the neccessary files due to windows file name length limitations

[Sawtaytoes]

+1 also broken for me. I don't want to use 0.7.2 if I don't have to. The folder names in older versions go really deep in Windows and are a problem to delete.

Guys, I don't know any other solution to this problem. In truth, it's more like a crutch than a solution. If you look above, I gave a link to a working folder.

I've been trying to include imagemin in our boilerplate at work and there never seems to be a build that works on Win7. I'm having the same issue and considering throwing myself out of the window. :)

Tried 0.7.2 with no joy. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I just ran it with --verbose and got this:

Use 0.9.2.

[GomesNayagam]

getting same error with 0.9.2

[GomesNayagam]

worked this way : npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin@0.9.2 --save-dev

[blowsie]

@Saturn2888 The deep folders are no problem to delete with npm uninstall
