I seem to have figured this one out myself. It appears to be a stupid 
Windows 7 permissions thing. Even though I have admin rights, I’m still 
running into issues when trying to run certain TPP commands. If I unzip the 
appropriate tgz file and change the msms_run_summary in the pepXML file to 
point to the folder with the files, I can easily see the spectra when I 
click the appropriate hyperlink in the Petunia interface. It occurred to me 
the problem might actually be an inability to run the unzip command since I 
was having similar permissions issues when I was trying to run idconvert on 
other files.I can’t say I know how to fix the permissions problems, but at 
least I know the process is working and I can get the result I require, 
albeit the long way.

 

If anyone else has seen this problem and has a solution, I’d be grateful.

 

Peter
