Looking for Engineers Installation notes for installing MassLynx 4.2 on Windows 10, including control of Mass Spectrometer and data acquisition.

Thanks in Advance

Installing MassLynx 4.2 should be straightforward because it is release for Windows 10. Just make sure you use the 2016 LTSB version.

If you have a different Windows version, or try installing MassLynx 4.1 under Windows 10, this page could be helpful for you:

Thanks for the link, but already knew about it.
That's just to get ML4.1 to run on Win10, doesn't delve in the guts of how to configure Win10/ML4.2 to communicate to a mass spectrometer (in my case old Autospec Magnetic Sectors), and set up the FTP and IIS stuff so that data can be taken.

Sorry I don't have a step-by-step guide for Win 10. All I have is an old version for XP. However, the underlying technique has not changed either in >20 years of Windows development, nor in MassLynx develoment, so it is worth a try. Drop me your mail address, I will send it to you.
Best regards

Jorg:

Appreciate it, but already have the Engineers Installation/Configuration notes for XP and Win7.
Win10 is just different enough to make it nearly impossible to get it to work without detailed instructions.

I'll keep looking.
