Hi,
I have installed the 5.4.3 FDS version, which generated the fds5_mpi.exe file.
But when I run it I get the following message
"This application has failed to start because fmpich2.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
 
I reinstalled it by downloading the win-32bit files from http://code.google.com/p/fds-smv/downloads/list
but the *.dll is not included.
I've read in oder more general discussion that I have to install the latest version of MPICH2. It's like this or do only miss some files?
Thanks
Michele

MPICH2 is something you need to obtain and install yourself. The FDS
installer does not install MPICH2

Is there any tutorial that explain how to setup the mpich2 in order to get the missing *.dll file?

I use this one: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/.
It's more or less "just install it".
