[mpich-discuss] install + config on windows

Fri May 3 11:29:26 CDT 2013

Hi,
 Looks like you missed the "-" before the status ("smpd -status" not "smpd status") argument.
 It also looks like you have multiple MPI libraries installed in your system. Try running this command (full path to mpiexec and smpd),

# C:\Progra~1\MPICH2\bin\smpd -status

# C:\Progra~1\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec -verbose -n 2 C:\Progra~1\MPICH2\examples\cpi.exe

Regards,
Jayesh
