Compile Comet in Windows 7: fatal error importing libid

[Jose Rodriguez]

Hi Comet community,

I am compiling the Comet in Windows 7 using the Microsoft Visual Studio but it shows me the following error:

3>------ Build started: Project: Comet, Configuration: Release x64 ------

3>cl : Command line warning D9002: ignoring unknown option '/arch:SSE2'

3>  Comet.cpp

3>C:\comet\comet_source_2015025\MSToolkit\include\MSReader.h(17): error C3506: there is no typelib registered for LIBID '{F0C5F3E3-4F2A-443E-A74D-0AABE3237494}'

3>C:\comet\comet_source_2015025\MSToolkit\include\MSReader.h(17): fatal error C1104: fatal error importing libid: 'F0C5F3E3-4F2A-443E-A74D-0AABE3237494'

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 3 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Anyone can help, please?

Best Regards,

BTW, I need to use the Comet version (2015025).

Jose,

Comet uses the MSToolkit library to read files.  A Windows compile includes the ability to read Thermo raw files using their MS File Reader library and the error message that you listed is due to not having MS File Reader installed.  So you need to install this software first.  Alternatively, if you go to the MSToolkit's github page it mentions setting/defining "_NO_THERMORAW" to build without Thermo raw file support in Windows.

To get access to Thermo's MS File Reader, register and login here:

Then get MS File Reader here:

Good luck.
