If you installed on one machine only, you may skip this step.

Before some of the automatic features of mpich can work, you must configure it.

    1. Invoke the configuration tool on one host in your cluster:
    start->programs->MPICH->mpd->MPICH Configuration tool.
    2. Add the hosts where you installed mpich to the list with the Add or Select button.
    3. Click Apply to set the hosts configuration option. This option saves a list of hosts in the Windows registry from which mpirun can draw names when it needs to select hosts to launch processes on.
    4. Click OK to exit.
For convenience you should add the launcher tools bin directory to your path. For the default installation this will be C: Program Files MPICH mpd bin.
