Hi,
Did you change any of the default settings when you installed MPICH2 ?
Can you try creating a different (different from "Schwer") local admin user and running your MPI job as that user (register/validate/mpiexec)?
Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh.
1. I did not install the 32 bit MPICH2 on the target 64 bit Windows Vista & 7 machines. I only mentioned I installed the 32 bit version on a Windows XP box just to indicate I could successfully install the program on some PC.
2. I uninstalled MPICH2 on the target 64 bit Windows Vista machine and attempted the install as you kindly described. The install was successful. NOTE: the file name on my installer package is slightly different:
mpich2-1.2.1p1-win-x86-64.msi "1.2.1p1"
Below is the series of commands issued to install, register, and validate MPICH2 and the corresponding rejection of credentials:
------------------------------------
C:\Windows\system32>f:
F:\>cd F:\LS-DYNA\MPICH2
F:\LS-DYNA\MPICH2>dir
Volume in drive F is Software
Volume Serial Number is F023-2D66

-------------------------------
Thanks again for your continuing efforts to help.

Hi,
# Did you uninstall the 32-bit version of MPICH2 before installing the 64-bit version (Currently you cannot have multiple versions of MPICH2 installed on the same system)?
# Did you launch the MPICH2 installer from an administrator command prompt using the msiexec utility (Right-click on the command prompt icon and select "Run as administrator" . From the administrator command prompt type "msiexec /i mpich2-1.2.1-win-x86-64.msi" to install MPICH2)? If not, uninstall MPICH2 and install following the steps above.
Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh.
I am administrator on SECS8.
Frankly I can't recall if the install was all users, but I have the ONLY account on this PC.
Also, all commands listed below were entered in a Command Window launched as administrator.

Hi,
Are you an administrator on the machine (SECS8)? Did you install MPICH2 for "All users" (During installation MPICH2 installer requests for this information - the default is "Just me") ?

Jayesh

Hi,
Try just registering "Schwer" (instead of "SECS8\Schwer") and see if it
works ("validate" should pass).

Jayesh

Thanks again Jayesh for the reply.
I attempted your suggestion to -validate and this failed:
C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -remove
DeleteCurrentPasswordRegistryEntry:RegDeleteValue(password) failed, error: 6
ERROR: Unable to remove the encrypted password.
C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\Schwer]:
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.
C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -validate
FAIL
C:\Windows\system32>hostname
SECS8
I *think* SECS8 is both the hostname and computer name, but is at least the
hostname.

Hi,
After registering your username try validating the username/password with
the "-validate" option and provide us with the results.
Is "SECS8" the domain name or the computer name (Type "hostname" at the
command prompt) ?

Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh for the response.
I have installed the 64-bit version of MPICH2 on the Windows Vista & 7
boxes.
Yes "Schwer" is a user on domain "SECS8," with admin privileges.
I believe I demonstrated in my original email the your suggestions, re:
-remove & -register. Also, accepting the offered domain/username via hitting
a return and then supplying the password.
Thanks again for your offered suggestions. --len

Hi,
If you are installing MPICH2 on a 64-bit machine we recommend that you
install the 64-bit version of MPICH2
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downl
oads). Try if it works.
From the error message, It looks like the username/password combination is
not valid.
Is "Schwer" a domain user (on domain SECS8)? Try accepting the default
username (Press Enter key when prompted for the username with the
"-register" option) and provide the password when prompted and see if it
works.
Let us know the results.
Regards,
Jayesh

Hello --
I have a successful Windows XP 32 bit install of MPICH2.
I have attempted installs on two other boxes: Windows Vista and Windows 7,
both 64 bit. As far as I can tell the install went well.
My problem is getting either install to recognize my username/password.
Below is a command window session where the command window was launched
using "Run as Administrator"
C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -remove
Account and password removed from the Registry.
C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\Schwer]:
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.
C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -n 1 hostname
Credentials for SECS8\Schwer rejected connecting to SECS8
Aborting: Unable to connect to SECS8
Any suggestions or pointers?
Thanks, --len
