System Requirements

Operating System
The MPI release is built to operate on Windows® XP and Vista.

PC Requirements
The PC must meet the minimum requirements specified by the Operating System manufacturer for CPU speed and RAM. Additionally, your PC will need 250 megabytes of available hard disk space.

Visual C/C++ DLLs
The MPI is built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, SP1.

WARNING!
Your Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 installation must have Service Pack 1. If you do not have Service Pack 1, your MPI application program may build correctly, but will not find the proper Microsoft C run-time DLLs and will not execute.

To verify if Service Pack 1 is installed:

In Visual Studio 2005, select Help / About Microsoft Visual Studio.
