[MPICH] mpiexec error message when using -localonly - Did you install MPICH2 for "Everyone" ?

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 When you installed MPICH2 did you specify it to be used by "Everyone" or
"Just Me" (by default the option is "Just Me") ? Make sure that you have
installed MPICH2 software for "Everyone" if you need all users to use
MPICH2. Let us know the results.
 The error below (did you copy-paste the error message completely ?) appears
when the smpd process manager tries to create a process specific registry
key (This is only required when you run MPICH2 in "-localonly" mode).

Regards,
Jayesh

Subject: [MPICH] mpiexec error message when using -localonly

Hello,

On WIN32, I try to spawn my code using -localonly.
Then, if I do not have administrator rights I have the following error
message (computation does not crash):

"Unable to open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH\SMPD\process\2856
registry key, error 5"

Does somebody know what it means ?

Thanks,
Etienne Perchat
