(nwchem) failed to read the input file from the directory it was supposed

> 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.
