Python is installed, LipidXplorer is installed, but clicking on lpdxGUI.pyw does nothing

Right click on LipidX or lpdxGUI.pyw. In the upcoming menu select Edit with IDLE. This should open 2 windows. One is the Python Shell and the other is the source code of lpdxGUI.pyw. Click on the source code window and press F5. If LipidX won't start then there will be an error message:

• ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.:

This error occurs because the C runtime library is not being installed correctly on your machine. (see [1]).

Please install the following if you have a x32 processor or a x64 processor

When I click on a MFQL query in the LipidXplorer Wiki it opens a html page instead of the script

If you click on a *.mfql script the file menu opens first. Here you left-click again on the *.mfql script to finally open it. Or click with the right mouse button on it to "Save [it] As..." .

LipidXplorer does not find any lipid although there are for sure lipids in the sample

If your import file format is *.dta/*.csv check:

• if you acquired your sample in negative ion mode you have to add the preposition 'neg_' on your data folder. (see Reference)
