Hi,
 The error message says it all,
 
==========================
cannot open input file 'mpi.lib'
==========================
 
 Make sure that you have specified the path to mpi.lib correctly.
 
(PS: You can ask your system administrator to help you with the Visual
Studio project settings)
Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,
 The linker error indicates that you have not specified the MPICH2
libraries as "Additional dependencies" for the linker.
 Specify the path of MPICH2 libraries (the default path is "c:\program
files\mpich2\lib") in "Additional library directories" (Project properties
--> Configuration properties --> Linker --> Additional library
directories). Specify the MPICH2 libraries (mpi.lib) as "Additional
dependencies" (Project properties --> Configuration properties --> Linker
--> Input --> Additional dependencies).
 You can find this information in the windows developer's guide (available
at
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/index.php?s=
docs). You can also refer to the example project files installed with
MPICH2 (examples\examples.sln).
 Let us know if you still have problems.
 
Regards,
Jayesh
