Re: [proteowizard-support] MSConvert error: illegal characters in path

[Nha T. N. H. <ntn...@un...>]

I'm afraid that we do not have an English version to try it on now... What
is strange is it worked very well until Jan-Feb 2014. I do not know if you
made some updates from this date that would be the origine of the error?

Otherwise I just tried to use ms2mz (
http://www.bioproximity.com/utility-converting-mass-spectrometer-file-formats.html)
by placing it in the ProteoWizard folder. It works well, no error message.
For now I think I can use it until you reach the root of the problem. Do
you know whether ms2mz funtion exactly as MSConvert? As we are performing
repeatability tests, I would like to be sure that there is no difference in
the data conversion that would lead to variability in the results.

Thank you for your help.
