So PETSc  is correctly built as static.

So its not clear which shared library this error is referring to. But then - this error was with petsc-3.4.2

You can always try to run the code manually without mpiexec - and see if that works.

cd src/ksp/ksp/examples/tutorials
make ex2
./ex2

Wrt MSMPI - yes its free to download

And PETSc does work with Intel-MPI. It might be a separate download/install. [so I can't say if what you have is the correct install of IntelMPI or not]

Check the builds we use for testing - for ex: config/examples/arch-ci-mswin-*.py

The configuration/compilation/installation seem to finish without problem, but test program (ex19) failed since it could not find a shared lib. Then I linked the libpetsc.lib with my program (in Fortran-90), but it got run time crash when it calls KSPSetPCSide(ksp_solver,PC_RIGHT,ierr) or other Petsc subroutines. Note that this package was built, tested and worked well with the same Fortran-90 program in my Windows-7 workstation.
