Hi,
 Are you able to run any other MPI programs? Try running the example program, cpi.exe (C:\Program Files\MPICH2\examples\cpi.exe), to make sure that your MPICH2 installation works.
 Installing MPICH2 on Windows 7 typically requires you to uninstall any previous versions of MPICH2, launch an administrative command promt and run "msiexec /i mpich2-installer.msi" to install MPICH2.

Regards,
Jayesh

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.
