Install v3.0.0b4 from Windows .exe, failed to run with "Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path"

[vrkosk]

I downloaded MS2Rescore-v3.0.0b4-Windows64bit.exe and installed in the default path. When trying to run ms2rescore.exe, I get:

Failed to execute script '__main__' due to unhandled exception:
Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path. List of candidates:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\MS2Rescore\_internal\xgboost\lib\xgboost.dll
- C:\Program Files (x86)\MS2Rescore\_internal\xgboost\..\..\lib\xgboost.dll

XGBoost Python package path: C:\Program Files (x86)\MS2Rescore\_internal\xgboost
sys.prefix: C:\Program Files (x86)\MS2Rescore\_internal
See: https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html for installing XGBoost.

Indeed, I can find no files in _internal that match *xgboost*, and no obvious way to install it.

Hi Ville,

Thanks for reporting! Not sure what went wrong during the build process, but adding XGBoost is now hardcoded in the build script. A new exe is available in the b5 release: https://github.com/compomics/ms2rescore/releases/tag/v3.0.0-b5

Best, Ralf
