Title: Library Installation Error
Post by: Matthew Keller on May 05, 2020, 02:47:18 PM
Hello All,

I am trying to get MS-DIAL started to compare it to other metabolomics programs and I downloaded library files from the MS-DIAL homepage http://prime.psc.riken.jp/compms/msdial/main.html#MSP. After trying to run the .msp file, I got the error: THIS PATCH PACKAGE COULD NOT BE OPENED. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice?

Thanks!
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

you meant, you wanna open the msp file on your PC by notepad etc, right?
Double click is not accessible to msp extension because it's recognized windows installer. So for example, please drag&drop the msp file into notepad++ (text editor), and you will see the contents.

Thanks,

Hiroshi
