Joaquin,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry but we haven’t provided support for Windows installations for quite some time down. We don’t have the resources or personnel to do so.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, if you would like to use MPI on Windows, we do suggest using either the Microsoft version which is available for free or the Intel version which is paid. Both are derivatives of MPICH which have their own additions to work on specific platforms
or hardware. You can find more information at the downloads page of MPICH (<a href="http://www.mpich.org/downloads">www.mpich.org/downloads</a>).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Wesley</div>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">I recently tried to install MPICH2 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine using your binary version 1.4.1p1, and I had a small problem on the very last step <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">(I
followed the instructions given in </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="http://swash.sourceforge.net/online_doc/swashimp/node9">http://swash.sourceforge.net/online_doc/swashimp/node9</a>.html</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">)</span>.
After installing the binary, I went to the command prompt and entered the following:<br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;">smpd -install</span><br style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;">

</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 11pt;">smpd -status</span><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Every step worked fine, even changing the pass phrase, but the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 11pt;">mpiexec -validate</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>command
returns<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 11pt;">FAIL</span>. I tried reinstalling the package again, but I got the same result. My question is: is there a way to get more information
about why the validation failed?<br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Thank you for your time, I look forward to your response.</div>
