MS2 file extension
The MS2 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MS2 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MS2 file on each system platform.
What is MS2 file?

How to open MS2 file?
The main problem with SEQUEST Ms2 is that the MS2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MS2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MS2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SEQUEST
In this case, you should first verify that the SEQUEST application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SEQUEST into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support MS2 files.
Programs to open MS2 file
Remember to download programs supporting MS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SEQUEST with MS2 files
If, despite the installed application, the MS2 file does not start in the SEQUEST application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MS2 file with the SEQUEST application.
Step 3. Update SEQUEST to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SEQUEST program with the SEQUEST Ms2 file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MS2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MS2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MS2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MS2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MS2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MS2 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MS2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MS2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MS2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
