questions how to convert .wiff files to mzXML with msconvert

[Andreas Quandt]

dear list,

i would like to convert some .wiff files using msconvert.
unfortunately i did not succeed so far.

requirements:
- windows 7 64bit
- i installed analyst 1.5 as vendor software
 

1) i tried the last stable release of msconvert (pwiz_1386) and i get following:

processing file: my.wiff
[Reader_ABI::ctor] Reading ABI WIFF files requires Protein Pilot 3.0 to be installed. A trial version is available for download at:
https://licensing.appliedbiosystems.com/download/ProteinPilot/3.0
Error processing file my.wiff

2) then i tried the last build of msconvert (pwiz_2369) and get following:

processing file: my.wiff
[ReaderFail] [Reader_ABI::read()] ABSciex WIFF reader not implemented: support was explicitly disabled when program was built
Error processing file my.wiff


so my question is, how do i can successfully convert the .wiff files? is it necessary to install protein pilot or is analyst enough?

many thanks for the help in advance!

cheers,
andreas
