MSstats installation error Vera  2018-05-31 12:28
 

Hi Skyline Team,

I am trying to install MSstats as an external tool in Skyline, but I keep run errors like Failed attempting to extract the tool from MSstats_external_3.8.4.zip, The system cannot find the file specified. Detailed errors were as below:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

I tried uninstalled skyline and R several times but none of them worked. Could you help me with it?

Thanks a bunch,
Vera

I believe you can fix this problem by installing R version 3.4.0.
Even if you have other versions of R on your computer, you also need to have R 3.4.0.

I think the error you are seeing happens when Skyline believes that you already do have that particular version of R installed, but you actually do not, and so Skyline does not automatically install it for you.

You can install that version of R from here:
https://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/base/old/3.4.0
