Be aware that patterns.txt does not have a very full set of SMARTS patterns and is there to provide a template for you to add your own. > There is no pattern file and no directory as there is for version 2.3.1: > OpenBabel-2.3.1\data Since Kirk Simmons on this list also seems to be have trouble with missing data on Windows XP, I dug out my old XP computer and although the keyboard didn't work, I was able to install OpenBabel 2.3.2 and run the GUI. Everything seemed to be there. The exe and dll files in C:\Program Files/Openbabel-2.3.3 and the data, documentation and examples are in (something like) C:\Application Data\Owner\OpenBabel-2.3.2 The data etc. folders are in different places in 2.3.0, 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 driven by the tightening of the permissions in versions of Windows later than XP. > The instructions in the "Documentation" link on the > download page refers to instructions for version 2.3.1. It's struggle keeping documentation up to date, but the user interface for the Windows installer and indeed almost all of OpenBabel interface does not change much between minor versions. I'm afraid I still don't know why you are having difficulties.
