 Please find attached a zip file containing the MPICH2 1.2 libs/exes/dlls (32-bit). Please follow the instructions below to install MPICH2 manually using the zip file,

# Unzip the contents of zip file into "c:\program files\mpich2" folder.
# Copy the dll files in the lib folder to your system32 folder (copy c:\progra~1\mpich2\lib\*.dll c:\windows\system32).
# Install the process manager manually (smpd -install).

 Let us know the results.

Regards,
Jayesh

All the MPICH files are erased (uninstalled) when I click "OK" to the error message. The DLL is missing, as is smpd.

 Can you manually install smpd now (smpd -install) ? Do you have mpich2mpi.dll installed in your system dir (dir c:\windows\system32\mpich2mpi.dll) ?

I made sure that it was not installed.  I ran the command.  At the end of the installation (the bar in the box was full) I got the same error message.  Attached is the log file.

 Please try the following,

# Make sure that you don't have MPICH2 installed on your system (pls look at the control panel)
# Download the latest MPICH2 installer (1.2) and perform a manual install with logging (msiexec /i mpich2-1.2-win-ia32.msi /log mpich2-1.2-ia32-install.log) and provide us with the log.

Jayesh

SP3 is installed, as well as all other Microsoft updates.

See the attached file for a screen dump of what happened when I tried smpd -install

Hi,
 Do you have SP3 for XP installed on your machine ?
 Can you try manually installing the process manager (smpd -install) and let us know the results ?

(PS: Please copy-paste the command and the output - don't retype the info in the email. This helps us in debugging the problem.)

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi,
I tried the latest version (2) that I downloaded.  When that did not work, I downloaded older versions, starting at 1.07, and they did not install either.

This is Windows XP professional, updated with all existing patches.

I have Admin privileges. No previous version was installed.

Hi,
 Please provide us more information regarding your setup.

# Which version of MPICH2 are you installing (Try the latest stable version, 1.2, available at http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downloads)?
# What is the flavor of windows installed in your machine (If you have windows vista installed you need to install the MPICH2 process manager manually - Open a command prompt with admin privileges, i.e. "run as administrator", and type "smpd -install -phrase behappy" to install MPICH2) ?
# Do you have another version of MPICH2 installed on your machine (If so, uninstall the prev version and install the new version)?

Regards,
Jayesh

I’m trying to install MPICH2 on my pc (windows 32 bit) but it gives me the following message: 

“There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. 

A program run as a part of the setup did not finish as expected. 

Contact your support personnel or package vendor.” 

I can’t understand how to manage the problem…
