Hi, Jayesh, 

You are right. Under Window 7, I searched ‘mpiexec.exe’ and found several ‘mpiexec.exe’ on my computer. so I put ‘C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin’ into the head of the PATH environmental variable. Please see the ‘PATH’ variable for details. Then I did tests again and the problem did not occur. 

I did compiled cxxpi.exe cpi.exe  fpi.exe under MS Studio 2008 and the latest MPICH2 lib was used, I guess. Please see the following snapshots. 

Thanks indeed for your assistances. 

Dingjun

Hi,

 Try the following commands and let us know the output of each command

# Run "which mpiexec" (To make sure that you are using the right mpiexec)

# Run "mpiexec -n 2 c:\Progra~1\MPICH2\examples\cpi.exe"

 Have you compiled "exe\cpi.exe" and "exe\cxxpi.exe" with the latest MPICH2 libraries ?

Regards,

Jayesh

This means the ‘mpiexec.exe’ must be with ‘cpi.exe, cpxx.exe, and fpi.exe’ under the same directory. Otherwise the problem is occurred. 

If I copy ‘mpiexec.exe’ into the directory where cpi.exe is and run mpiexec –n 12 cpi.exe. then the test is successful.

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.  

Dingjun

 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.
