Hi,

This may not be an issue. I need your help to make vcf_validator.exe running. I downloaded the latest exe for Windows. I tried running it however got following error.

error

My OS is Windows 10. Do i need to install any applications manually? I have assumed that running exe would be suffice. Thanks in advance for your help.

thanks for telling us. This error is not expected, you shouldn't need to install anything. We'll look into this but I can not give any timeline. Did you try previous versions? https://github.com/EBIvariation/vcf-validator/releases

oh, I forgot, that library can not be bundled in the validator in windows. please download the dll from here and put it/them in the same folder as the vcf-validator.exe.

Hi jmmut,

Thank you for your prompt response. I have downloaded the files and copied in the same folder as that of the exe. Although the execution proceeds further, I am getting a new error : entry_point_error

Is it related to code or to my system setup?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi jmmut,

Please ignore my last message. It was my bad. I had not copied the files properly. Now its working. I have tried on one vcf file and the execution completed successfully :)

Thanks so much for your help

Glad it worked for you! I added a sentence explaining this in the "Download" section of the readme for future users. Thanks again for the feedback.
