rietan.exe does not exist

[Arman]

Hello All,

I am trying to use the Powder Diffraction Pattern under the utilities of VESTA, but get the message below.  Do I need to install a reitveld program (rietan) somewhere and then link them up?  reitan.exe does not seem to come with installation of VESTA. Any help is greatly appreciated!

File does not exist: C:\Program Files\RIETAN_VENUS\rietan.exe

Best Regards,
Arman

Dear Arman,

Short answer: yes!

Longer answer: you will need to download the RIETAN-FP installer from http://fujioizumi.verse.jp/download/download_Eng.html, extract it and run it (as an administrator) to install RIETAN-FP.  In VESTA, you should then go to 'Edit | Preferences...' and make sure that the path to rietan.exe is correct.

Hope that helps,

Philip

Also that sounds like an answer for PCs and not macs.
