[mpich-discuss] problem running smpd on a windows machine

[Dksteinman at aol.com]

I'm trying to get MPICH2 to run on my windows machines.  I  have downloaded 
and installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions.   However, when I try to 
run smpd -install, I get the message that 
 
OpenSCManager failed:
 
Access is denied. (error 5)
Unable to remove the previous installation, install failed.
 
I've never had a previous installation.
 
What am I doing wrong?
 
thanks,
