<DIV>I'm trying to get MPICH2 to run on my windows machines. I
have downloaded and installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
However, when I try to run smpd -install, I get the message that </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OpenSCManager failed:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Access is denied. (error 5)</DIV>
<DIV>Unable to remove the previous installation, install failed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've never had a previous installation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What am I doing wrong?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks,</DIV>
