Ah, the pwiz installer for Windows installs that redist automatically now. But if that was the problem, then the tpp-bin one would have started working after he installed the standalone version. He's probably right that some ancillary files are missing. Just copy all of them! :)

Brian, be warned that MSConvertGUI 64-bit is unreliable currently. Use the 32-bit one if you want the GUI. All 32-bit apps work fine on 64-bit Windows.

Hello,
It turns out that you will need to install the Microsoft Visual C++
2010 Redistributable Package (x86 or x64, as appropriate), on top of
the requirements listed in the Proteowizard page (
http://proteowizard.sourceforge.net/user_installation.shtml ).  At
least this worked for me on my Vista setup.

x86: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

x64: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632

Hope this helps,

Hello all,

I could not get msconvert.exe as supplied in the TPP distributions to run,
even  using the tips in the installation instructions for Windows.  I
determined the most likely problem was that my
version of Win 7 is 64 bit and what is supplied with TPP might be the 32 bit
version.  So I downloaded and installed the latest ProteoWizard and now I
can get msconvert to run within the ProteoWizard directory.  Simply copying
the 64-bit version of msconvert.exe into the tpp-bin directory doesn't work.

The work around is to use the 64bit version outside of TPP.  Does anyone
know of a fix to allow it to run in the tpp-bin directory?  Might be as
simple as copying some ancillary files, if only I knew which one(s).

Thanks in advance.

Brian
