Hello,
I try to install Elmer 8.2 on Windows 10. I have an error with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 but Elmer ask me if I want to repair, I clic on yes, installation continue only some few seconds more and I have a new error with MSMPI:
MSPMI INstallation faile with error code 4317. The currently version can not be upgraded. It must be manually uninstalled from Add/Remove Progrmas before the installation can continue.
Is it a problem?
I can launch Elmer GUI.
Is it possible to use hypre on windows for parallel calculation?
Best regards
Julien

Hello,
I try a parallel calculation, I have the following message:
What is wrong in my installation?

Re: Installation on Windows Elmer 8.2
You have to check the settings for parallel processing:
Is the path to your MPI-installation correct?
The following arguments should be provided:
-n %n -genvlist PATH,ELMER_HOME ElmerSolver_mpi.exe
ELMER_HOME has to be defined as a system variable and the bin-directory of your Elmer-installation has to be placed in the path-variable of your system.
Usually, Elmer gives you a notification when it could not find the executable. So I assume that the settings are correct.

Re: Installation on Windows Elmer 8.2
I am new in this forum, so before I risk to download Elmer 8.2 I would like to have some help in installing this software in my laptop HP Intel Core i3, 64-bit windows 10. Other free source software update their product to Windows 10, and they provide a download link for this purposes.
Could you help here, or will you recomend to move to Xcos or Kratos multiphysics?

Re: Installation on Windows Elmer 8.2
What exactly do you need to know? The installation in Windows is straight forward. Download the install und run it. If you want to use the multi-processing features you need an MPI installation. I am using the one from Microsoft that can be found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx. Just install this prior to installing Elmer. But I am almost sure that I saw an install option for MPI in Elmer during my last setup-procedure.
Make sure that ELMER-path variables are set during installation. For a parallel simulation MPI needs to find the elmer executables. For making life easier the ELMER\bin-directory should be set in the path-variable of windows.
