kwhutch	Kristen Butela I should also note that our university has advised us NOT to upgrade to El Capitan, so I'm still on the OSX 10.9.5 I'm using Yosemite (10.10.5) and maybe that's a problem, as well. I've tried the last four versions of XQuartz and none solve the problem. Thanks for your help and suggestions. It all clearly points to the need for an upgraded DNA Master that runs platform independent. Keith

kwhutch	Kristen Butela I uploaded the file to my Google Drive. Anyone with the link should be able to download the file. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7VOsLplKJxoeGx3ZGJ3WFFqY28 Kristen, Thank you. But sad to have to say I got the phenotype as before. BLASTing produced the same OLE error. Hopefully it will work for some. I'll wait to Off-peak hours to do a full BLAST. I didn't get the OLE error then. But it only output the results to a text file and not into the DNA Master file. Keith

kwhutch	Kristen Butela Tamarah Adair Today I received a few inquiries about using the DNAMaster in WINE. The link that is posted should still work. This is the comment I have from our IT- Users can download the box version and run it and it will update itself as usual. Once the updates have ran, that user will have the equivalent of what is in G42. We are using this version- but we are not able to BLAST from DNAMAster. I am getting a directory (?) error after a few minutes that says OLE error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? We can use the NCBI and phagesdb sites for annotation, but eventually we are going to need to have BLAST results in DNAMaster. Theoretically, this version is detecting DNAMaster updates, but I am wondering if there is a new link out to NCBI that it is not seeing? We are running DNA Master within the WINE configuration. The installer has been copied and you should be able to get to it from this link. https://baylor.box.com/s/295to06pr1cpztqiu2jn0h77iy3vkanz THANKS! I also encountered this problem when I used the newest DNA Master WINE build from the Baylor site. I was able to work around the issue by going back to an older version of DNA Master-WINE that I downloaded from the Baylor site last year. I updated DNA Master from within the program to the latest version, and I am able to use BLAST successfully. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the latest version of WINE itself, giving the OLE error? Kristen (or Tammy) can you post this older version. When I Google the OLE error that I get the hits all point to it being a Wine issue, likely not supporting or including a needed Windows API. I've been thinking about starting with downloading Wine itself. I would suspect that Jeff Lawrence might know what API (or DLL) needed to be added. But why reinvent the wheel?

kwhutch	GregFrederick@letu.edu Keith Hutchison I've a student trying to install Wine-DNA Master on a machine running El Capitan (OSX 10.11). He gets it installed but gets the following DNA Master error message: "An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $210" The web says there were problems with Wine on OSX 10.11 this past fall. I don't know if that is the issue but as best we can tell it is the only difference between his Macbook and the rest of the class. So I'm asking a question similar to what I asked about DNA Master on Windows 10. Has anyone had success with this particular installation? Does the error code help in anyway? Thanks, Keith I'll have to email my students and ask which OSX versions they have. gf I think I've solved it though awaiting confirmation from the student. Since I was helping students set up and update software I went ahead and upgraded the XQuartz on my Mac to 2.7.8, which is what my student was using. Launched DNA Master and got the same error as reported above. But I have Yosemite(OSX 10.10.5) on my computer. I backed of a version to XQuartz 2.7.7 and all seems to be well. This suggests that it is not the OS change but the newer version of XQuartz. I've emailed the student and am waiting to for his confirmation.

kwhutch	Greg and Lee, thanks to both. I've sent the student a reminder set of instructions on dealing with Admin privileges. When you have only one with the problem and that one is the only one running Windows 10, I had to wonder. Knowing it is not an OS issue lets me look more closely at what the student is actually doing. Keith GregFrederick@letu.edu DNA Master installed fine on my WinX machine too. Make certain they right click the download file and select "Run as administrator". Then once installed, find the .exe file which should be in "C:program files (x86)/DNA Master". Once they find the DNAMas.exe file, right click it, select "Properties", then "Compatibility", then click "Run as administrator" and "OK. I usually have the student save a short-cut on the desktop at that point so they get it started correctly next time. Once the DM program starts, there is a window that pops asking if you want to run this "program of unknown origin". (I wish that would go away!) Just say yes and it should run fine… Make certain you cross all fingers and toes prior to doing any of this!

kwhutch	I have a student trying to install DNA Master on a machine running Windows 10. Has anyone else had problems? I remember on Windows 8 there were some additional steps. When the student downloads and runs the installation file it opens a window asking if she wants to Modify, Repair or Remove. It does not appear to ask if she wants to Install. When she tried to back out of the installation process she got the following error message "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance" And she tells me IT had to install an additional program to uninstall whatever of DNA Master did get installed on Windows 10. At the moment that's what I know. If others have installed DNA Master on a Windows 10 machine with no problems the maybe the file was simply damaged. It would, in fact, be useful to have easy access to checksum or some similar information for both DNA Master and especially the Linux virtual machine files. Keith Hutchison Edited 23 Jan, 2016 19:15
