Hi Grace, An MSI file is a Windows installer. We don't have an official Mac build and for Linux there's no installer, only a tarball of binary executables. Your options are: 1. Use a Windows machine or virtual machine (e.g. Parallels) and install the MSI file on there and use that for your conversion. 2. Use the command-line (Terminal) to run the ProteoWizard Docker container, which does allow for non-virtualized vendor file conversion on Mac and Linux. I don't know your level of proficiency but if you don't already know how to use a command-line tool then this option is probably unrealistic. 3. Use a web conversion tool such as usegalaxy.eu's msconvert wrapper: https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu%2Frepos%2Fgalaxyp%2Fmsconvert%2Fmsconvert #3 is the easiest but the least performant (you have to upload your input, queue the conversion and wait for it to finish, then download the result). Hope this helps, -Matt On 5/13/2021 1:00 PM, Grace Freundlich wrote: > > To whom this may concern, > > My name is Grace Freundlich and I am hoping to use the MSConvert program within Proteowizard to convert my GC/MS files from raw to > mzXMLfile types.
