in thread Can't run Clustalw through Bioperl

Are you sure the program is installed in the path you are specifying, and it's executable? What is the output of:

C:\> where clustalw.exe
? What happens if you try to run it by hand in its folder?

( Disclaimer: I don't use MS Windows, but I believe that's the command... )


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    --->INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

    But i can see it. Its already installed on my computer and the Clusterw.exe is on this specific path. really confused...

      If you change into the folder where the file lives, can you execute it from the command line? If so, what does it tell you?

        ---->System couldn't file Clustalw

        But I can double click on it and use it. Please excuse me for all this confusion, but it makes no sense to me.
