[mpich-discuss] Windows 7 64 problems with credentials (tried many things)

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 I just verified that MPICH2 1.3rc2(x86_64 version) works without any errors on 64-bit Windows 7 professional (running as a VM on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server) with 1/4 virtual processors.
 I installed MPICH2 using an admin command prompt (msiexec /i mpich2-1.3rc2-win-x86-64.msi) and allowed exception for smpd when windows firewall popped up during the installation.
 Uninstall MPICH2 1.2.1p1 and install the latest 1.3rc2 version and let us know if that works.
 Do you have any special settings for your VM ? Can you give us more details on the setup (host machine, virtual machine settings)?

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,
 I am in the process of trying out Win 7 64-bit VM at our lab. I will update you soon on my findings.

(PS: Tested WinXP 32-bit/64-bit in VM - both work fine with 1-4 logical processors)
Regards,
Jayesh

No, it was the same number (2), but I did boot the VM with just 1 processor, and there was no change in the problem.

Hi, 
Have you configured more logical processors on your VM than available on your host ?

Yes, I tried both of those things with no luck. Also, no virus scanner is running.

I believe this an unrelated bug because mpiexec then fails with "op_read error on left context: Error = -1" rather than the credentials error. Since this failure is related to process affinity, I wonder if there's a problem relating to my using two processors in my machine, which is a VirtualBox virtual machine.
