> Hello All.<BR>
> I am trying to used MPICH2 on windows HPC Cluster. Using HPC job scheduler i am not able to specify the work directory when i try to submit a job. mpiexec will look at the input files only if preset in MPICH2/BIN directory. I have tried using the -wdir setting but not able to get mpiexec to work.<BR>
