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.
