Q: Cannot load raw files

A: Check if .NET and MSFileReader are installed on your computer


Q: “MSFileReader appears not to be installed” error message

A: If the software has been successfully installed, but this error message appears, try to uninstall and then re-install the MSFileReader again. Restarting the computer may also be necessary
