[mpich-discuss] install + config on windows

[spatiogis]

Hello,

	in my case Mpich is normally used to run .exe programs. I guess that they  
are already compiled...
	The .exe files are integrated into a software, and accessed from menus  
inside it. When I run one of the programs, the answer is actually "unable  
to query host".
	At the end, the process is not realised. It seems that this 'host'  
question is a problem to the software...

	Sincerely,

	Ben.
