However, without a compiler, you most likely won't be able to do much with MPICH once you've installed it so you might end up needing to install one in the end.</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>My second issue is that I must be missing something about the server configuration.

If you look at the installation guide (<a href="http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/1.4.1p1/mpich2-1.4.1p1-installguide.pdf">http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/1.4.1p1/mpich2-1.4.1p1-installguide.pdf</a>), the Windows instructions start on page 16. Try going through those and then let us know if you still have issues.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Wesley</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>sincerely,<br><br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Ben<br>_______________________________________________<br>discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:discuss@mpich.org">discuss@mpich.org</a><br>To manage subscription options or unsubscribe:<br><a href="https://lists.mpich.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss">https://lists.mpich.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss</a><br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
