Installing imagemagick perlmagick on Windows Strawberry Perl

Has anyone had any success recently installing imagemagick/perlmagick on Windows with recent versions of strawberry perl? I have read and tried many of the things suggested that I found online however none is very recent and none has worked for me. I've added all the imagemagick folders to the path as well. Seems there is a problem with finding the right files with imagemagick install. I have tried adding directories to the make file but still always errors out with

 Magick.xs:60:10: fatal error: magick/MagickCore.h: No such file or directory
 #include <magick/MagickCore.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Versions: perl 5.30.2x64-multi-thread, ImageMagick-7.0.10-31-Q8-x64-dll, Windows server 2019. Any help or direction here is appreciated.

The message indicates that compilation process is require MagickCore.h file. You need source code of the imagemagic to be available for compilation process. - Polar Bear
@PolarBear indeed, I had install this package in ubuntu, must have imagemagick install first. - Han.Oliver
@Han.Oliver - OP does not specify what OS he works with. In your case as you use Linux you need [package]-dev be installed - development package includes required header files. - Polar Bear
Yes I specified windows server 19 with strawberry perl - Tim
Tried, and can reproduce. Even when checking the box to install convert. Busy now. Will look at it in ~5 hours, or maybe tomorrow. - ikegami

You appear to have installed ImageMagic v7, which is not backwards compatible with v6. The Image::Magick on CPAN requires ImageMagick v6.

(That said, I got test failures when trying to install Image::Magick with the latest binary of v6. I'm not the only one.)
