[mpich-discuss] mpich2 and windows 7

[Hiatt, Dave M]

You will find the MPICH2 folder in Program Files, not Program Files (x86).  The x64 version doesn't have wmpiexec, wmpiregister, and wmpiconfig, those have to come from the Win32 version.  You CAN have both installed, but it's critical that tye mpich-smpd service is the x64 version.  

I installed the Win32 version of 1.2.1 first, and put the wmpixxx utilities on the desktop.  Then I installed the x64 version, and then did an mpiexec -install from the folder:
           Program Files\MPICH2\bin

and that installed the mpich-smpd.exe service from the x64 program files directory.  And it has been bullet proof.

You can't run a x64 MPI app with a Win32 smpd.

Hope this helps.

Good morning
I used mpich2 32 bit on windows xp and everything works well.
Now I am installing mpich2 64 bit on windows 7 but I have some problem; the 
installtion complete successfully but I am not able to find mpich2 folder on 
start menu and if I try the double click on the installation folder on the file 
mpiexec nothing happened.

Could you help me?

Thank you in advance

Michele
