Hello:
I encountered an error during register and label brain process.It seems like .warp file cannot be read.I have tried many ways but still cannot fix it. Would you please help me to know what is wrong? Thanks! BTW, I use windows and I am sure that MATLAB MCR is installed.

It will help a lot if you reply.Thanks!

[Anand Joshi]

Is there a file F:\wangxu\mri_bs_test\T1.bfc.warp ?

[yunliaoyu]

yes，I have that file.

[Anand Joshi]

Hi Xu, Is your data on external hard drive? If yes then can you please try copying it on internal drive and then running the program? The speed of the external drive may not be enough for data processing. Please let me know.

[yunliaoyu]

Hi,The data I processed is on the internal drive. I checked the log again and found that I only have F:\wangxu\mri_bs_test\T1.bfc.svreg.tmp\T1.bfc.target.left.mid.cortex_smooth10.dfs. But the file that mentioned in the log is F:\wangxu\mri_bs_test\T1.bfc.svreg.tmp\T1.bfc.target.left.mid.cortex_smooth10_smooth10.dfs. Is it the problem? Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!

[Anand Joshi]

Can you try running the surface extraction sequence again? My guess is that for some reason .warp file is corrupted leading to the error in later stages. If it is possible for you to share the data with me, I can try running it.

[yunliaoyu]

I have tried running the extract sequence again and using another file, but still encountered this error. Of course I can share my data with you. It is of great help if you run it. Would you please tell me your email? Thanks!

[Anand Joshi]

My email ID is ajoshi@sipi.usc.edu. You are using 64 bit windows platform, right?

[yunliaoyu]

Yes, I used 64 bit windows platform. I sent a file I used in this process to you by E-mail. Thanks for your help!

[Anand Joshi]

I am not able to find your email. What was the subject or email address from which you sent it?

[yunliaoyu]

maybe some error occurred in my mail system. I resent you a E-mail. The subject is ‘nii file for running cortical surface extraction sequence’ and my E-mail address is wangxu2011@sjtu.edu.cn

[tenamber]

Hey, I experience the exact same Problem.
Has this been solved somehow?
Thanks, Frederik

[Anand Joshi]

Hi, Thank you for reporting the issue.
Are you able to run the following exe from the command line
> C:\Program Files\BrainSuite16a1\svreg\bin\warp_points.exe

It should show the following message.
> C:\Users\ajoshi>”C:\Program Files\BrainSuite16a1\svreg\bin\warp_points.exe”
>
> Usage: C:\Program Files\BrainSuite16a1\svreg\bin\warp_points.exe .warp_file ucf_in ucf_out

Please let me know what message you get.
Additionally, please make sure that your windows system is up to date with all the updates applied.
Can you please report your windows system configuration?
Thanks,
Anand

A possible fix it installing 32 bit redistributable from:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Make sure to install 32bit version of Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.

[gee306]

After installed the 32bit version of Visual C++ Redistributable Packages

I have already solve the same problem.

It has bothered me a long time.

Thanks Anand Joshi !

[abhinavdhere]

Dear Prof. Joshi,
Both the BrainSuite software and SVreg are useful tools. However, I am facing the exactly same issue as faced by yunliaoyu, but for 64 bit Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and BrainSuite 17a. Naturally the Visual Studio fix doesn’t seem useful in this case.
Kindly suggest if there is a fix available for Linux also?
Thanks.

[Anand Joshi]

Can you please type the error log here?

Pls. note that this is despite the fact that I have run the program as sudo and have ensured that mri.warp is allowed to execute as program and access is read only to others, read and write to user.

[abhinavdhere]

Thanks a lot for your time. I resolved that issue myself.
It seems the problem was that I was trying to do the SVreg process directly on pial surface, without hemisphere labeling. Performing hemisphere labeling step before registration resolved the issue.

Now I have the labeled surface with the 95 ROIs color coded. However, I’m not sure how to visualize any sulcal markings (the atlas description has 26 sulci). My primary motive here was to obtain automatic marking of those 26 sulci on the surface.

[Anand Joshi]

You can drag and drop dfc files in brainsuite interface to see the sulci.

Hi, I have the same issue. Something is wrong with the warp_points.exe file. The program just stops to work with “Registration error” message. The log is:

[Anand Joshi]

Is your windows system 32 bit o 64 bit?
Is the pial surface generated correctly?

[Anand Joshi]

Please try installing
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013

available from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Make sure to get

vcredist_x64.exe

After this the programs should work.
