+ | |||
+ | === How to replace an earlier version of the MS Interpreter === | ||
+ | The following instructions assume that you have a earlier version | ||
+ | of MS Interpreter installed on your PC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Make sure the MS Search and MS Interpreter are not running. Open Task Manager and look for mspcalc.exe under Processes. If you find “Mspcalc.exe” or “Mspcalc.exe *32”, right-click it and select “End Process” or, if this does not work, select “End Process Tree”. | ||
+ | - Extract file MSINTUNR.BAT from this package to the directory where the MS Interpreter executable (MSPCALC.EXE) is located. | ||
+ | - Run MSINTUNR.BAT as Administrator. This will unregister the old MS Interpreter; | ||
+ | - Find current Mspcalc.exe on your computer. | ||
+ | - Create there a new folder //OldVer// for backup. | ||
+ | - Move old files (qual.dll, mspcalc.ini, | ||
+ | - Unzip new files in the folder. | ||
+ | - Run MSINTREG.BAT as Administrator. This will register the new MS Interpreter; | ||
+ | |||
+ | === How to install MS Interpreter ver. 3.4 === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following instructions assume that you do not have a earlier version | ||
+ | of MS Interpreter installed on your PC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Extract files from this package to a directory on your computer. | ||
+ | - Run MSINTREG.BAT as Administrator. This will register the new MS Interpreter. This process lasts 1-3 sec., no new application window will be open. Or you can run newly extracted file MSPCALC.EXE as Administrator; | ||
+ | - Optionally create a shortcut to MSPACALC.EXE and name it "MS Interpreter" | ||
+ | |||
+ | === How to verify that MS Interpreter is properly installed === | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Run NIST MS Search (your current version). | ||
+ | - Open a mass spectrum in any of the MS Search windows | ||
+ | - Right-click the window and select "Send To", "MS Interpreter" | ||
+ | |||
+ | The MS Interpreter window should pop up and display the selected | ||
+ | spectrum and (if present) the chemical structure. The Help/About | ||
+ | box should display "MS Interpreter Version 3.4" or later. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Link to download MS Interpreter is below. There is "Read Me" file inside the archive with installation instruction. | ||
