HI, Jayesh, 

Thanks indeed for your reply. 

I did it in terms of your suggestions. But the problem is still there. 

I run tests as follows: 

I entered C:\Program Files\MPICH2\examples
and ran  mpiexec -n 12 cpi.exe
the error prompt is as before: 
"CreateProcess failed, error 2
Unable to start the local smpd manager"

However, if I entered c:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin
and ran mpiexec -n 12 ../examples/cpi.exe
test is successful and cpi.exe works well under 12 CPUs. 

This means I cannot do tests under the directory C:\Program Files\MPICH2\examples where cpi.exe is. 

I look forward to your suggestions again and have a good day.

 Uninstall your existing version of MPICH2 and follow the instructions in Section 9.4 (NOT 9.1) of the installer's guide (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/documentation/files/mpich2-1.4.1-installguide.pdf).
 Let us know if you still have issues.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi, Dear Sir or Madam, 



I just installed MPICH2 on my computer of Window 7 and ran the examples cpi.exe. 

When I enter the following command: 



mpiexec –n 4 cpi.exe 



the prompt is as follow: 

“CreateProcess failed, error 2 

Unable to start the local smpd manager.” 



Could you tell me how to solve above problem? I look forward to hearing from you. 

Thank you in advance.
