[mpich-discuss] Windows 7 Install problem- mpiexec errors

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Do you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows installed in your system (You should use the corresponding version of MPICH2)?
 Can you also try if the nemesis channel works for you (mpiexec -n 2 -channel nemesis hostname)? Do you have any other MPI libraries installed in your machine (Try the full path
to the mpiexec command and see if it works, c:\progra~1\mpich2\bin\mpiexec -n 2 hostname)?

Regards,
Jayesh

Jayesh;

I wish I had better news, but after following your instructions to 
de-install and re-install  MPICH2, and starting the daemon, mpiexec 
still crashed immediately when started with:
   "mpiexec  -help2"
   or with any other option.

Any ideas??
