recommend developing with 1.0.7 SDK until we figure out the source of the
problem. I don't recall any major changes in the installer code (It is possible
that the newer versions of VS libs used to create the installer is not
compatible with win2k).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2> Hi,<BR> To run your MPI job across
machines you need to make sure that all the machines have the
same version of MPICH2 (However your current pblm is not
that...).<BR> Try uninstalling MPICH2 manually (from
Add/Remove programs) on all the systems ? Install MPICH2
1.1.1p1 on all the systems. Let us know if it
works.<BR><BR>(PS: Always try to make a restore point before
manually editing your registry entries, <A

Meanwhile, you should find MPICH related entries in the
following reg
directories,<BR><BR>{{{<BR><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH<BR><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH2<BR><BR>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MPICH<BR><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
=> This directory will contain a directory (a unique GUID)
containing MPICH2 uninstall
info.<BR><BR>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Service\mpich2_smpd<BR><BR>}}}<BR><BR>)<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Jayesh<BR><BR>-----Original

tried uninstalling and reinstalling on the one remaining
working system, and now both exhibit the same problem and
message as stated below. It appears that there could be
an issue with uninstalling and trying to reinstall 1.1.
Right now I just need some way out of this

[mpich-discuss] Installation problems<BR><BR><BR>I had MPICH2
1.07 up and running between a set of test machines with no
problems. But thanks to local IT staff, one of my
systems was trashed and had to be reimaged from ground
0. I downloaded version 1.1 and installed it, but was
having communication problems between the system on 1.07 and
1.1, so I decided to install 1.1 on the system that had not
been touched.<BR><BR>I believe I actually installed it
twice. The first time seemed to go ok, but and mpiconfig
would show green around the two hosts names for a short while,
but then drop. In all the checking and rechecking, I
came to doubt I had installed the 1.1 on one of the systems
and installed it again. When the installation started
the 2nd time, I asked if I wanted to repair or uninstall MPI,
so I decided to start from scratch again, and said
uninstall. When that completed I started the install
again, but now it always fails at the very end, with the
message<BR><BR>"Three is a problem with this Windows Installer
package. A program run as part of the setup did not
finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or
package vendor". Of course all of this would happen
three days before a major release and has brought my testing
to a total halt. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.<BR><BR>I deleted everything and culled through
the registry and deleted anything that had mpich on it, but to
no avail. Where should I look for a diagnostic on what
the run that failed has a problem with?<BR><BR>Desperate in
