MS-MPI not available
Word of warning to those installing BARAM on a drive other than the C drive. The MPI package will install normally however for some reason the program is hardcoded to look at only your C drive and not the drive it was installed on. This means you'll have to download it from Microsoftand install it on the C drive under the following path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft MPI otherwise BARAM cannot find it.
For the MPI Download: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=105289
For the developers, please make sure that BARAM can recognize when it is installed on a second drive and it looks in that drive path for the MPI file rather than under the C drive.
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with using BARAM.
BARAM does NOT find mpi executables in hard-coded paths,
but rely on the system environment variable PATH.
If the mpi executable is registered in the PATH environment variable regardless of the mpi installation location, commands such as mpirun or mpiexec will be available on the terminal.
BARAM works fine in such an environment.
Actually I just installed MS-MPI and BARAM on my E drive and tested it,
and it worked without any problems.
Therefore, we carefully recommend that you check whether the path environment variable was set correctly when you experienced the problem.
If I misunderstand or if there is any other problem, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you.
