When I try to make a boot animation in windows I get
converting boot_animation.gif to a supported gif type...
Invalid Parameter - -coalesce
ERROR: do you have ImageMagick and GZIP installed?
https://download.imagemagick.org/ImageMagick/download/binaries/ImageMagick-7.1.0-4-Q8-x64-dll.exe
- install the 'legacy convert' too
extracting gif frames...
Invalid Parameter - frame.png
converting frames to RGBA...
compressing frames...
creating the boot animation [HEADER]...
creating the boot animation [BODY]...
CHECK ERROR: An error occured, do you have GZIP installed?
all done!

I've installed imagemagick from https://download.imagemagick.org/ImageMagick/download/binaries/ImageMagick-7.1.0-5-Q8-x64-dll.exe as the one listed in the output is no longer available, installed legacy convert and I have frame.png

the output file is only 1KB despite source gif being 60KB and frame.png (pulled first frame from gif) being 23KB and results in just a black boot screen

you will need an older gzip, they removed the -k in the new ver, i will release a new ver soon

@DanHolli123 I've had success calling magick convert myself instead (just made a quick python script to do it for all the frames).

Then I run mkanim.exe, ignoring the Invalid Parameter errors. Since the rgba files were prepared beforehand, it managed to produce the boot.rcf file. I also ran this in my git bash shell, just to make sure gzip is accessible.
