Wine, msconvert and RAW

[msykes]

I've successfully got msconvert running under Wine, converting .d
to .mzML. Unfortunately, I've run into problems trying to
convert .raw to .mzML

This post suggests that it is possible:

However, I consistently get the following error:

processing file: JW-11.raw
[ThermoRawFile] [RawFile::ctor] Unable to initialize XRawfile; is
MSFileReader installed?
Error processing file JW-11.raw

Any thoughts? This is using the latest version of pwiz (2_0_1905),
which seems to include the appropriate dll files:
MSFileReader.XRawfile2.dll
MSFileReader.XRawfile2.SxS.manifest
Interop.DataExplorer.dll
Interop.EDAL.dll
Interop.EDAL.SxS.manifest
Interop.MSFileReaderLib.dll

So it's not clear to me if this is a complete incompatibility with
Wine (the above-referenced posts suggests it not), or if I just need
to get the .dll files to be found. I have tried copying them to the
working directory with the same results.

Thanks for any suggestions,

I've actually given up on this. You need the wine 1.3 beta version to
get the required dot net libs installed, and when converting RAW files
I get some weird segfaults. Sometimes it works and sometimes not,
using the same machine, the same RAW file, etc.

In short, not that great an experience and I personally would not rely
on it. Right now, I just run a local VM or AWS windows box with pwiz
installed to convert files. Slower than bare metal but it works.

You can try CrossOver, commercial company that does a better job of
packaging wine environments into a "bottle", to see if this is more
stable. They have a beta period and for $20 per license, if it works
more stable, this is definitely worth it.

woops crossover is $40. Still cheap http://www.codeweavers.com/

Ah, too bad. The .d -> mzML works great, so I had really gotten my
hopes up for .raw. I'll look into a VM, or just plain converting the
machine into a Windows box. Thanks for the reply,
