Why after installing HPC Pack 2008 R2 SDK there is no msmpi.lib or mpi.h?

Question
-
I just started to try some MS MPI application development. I installed the following applications on my Win Server 2003 32 bit machine.
HPC Pack 2008 R2 Client Utilities Redistributable Package
HPC Pack 2008 R2 SDK
HPC Pack 2008 R2 MS-MPI Redistributable PackageBut I did not see msmpi.lib or mpi.h that I saw before with HPC Pack 2008 SDK installation, so I can not try MS MPI app development using HPC Pack 2008 R2 SDK as I could do before using HPC Pack 2008 SDK. How can I try some MS MPI app development using HPC Pack 2008 R2 SDK?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Alice, For HPC Pack 2008 R2, the MS-MPI is NOT installed with SDK. You can get the MS-MPI installed by installing HPC Pack 2008 R2 MS-MPI Redistributed Package redictributed from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ce888449-0e71-44f3-a2fc-947ec57ff90f Please let me know whether you can download and install MS-MPI pack successfully. Thanks, James

I just started to try some MSP MPI application development. I installed the following on my Win Server 2003 32 bit box,
HPC Pack 2008 R2 Client Utilities Redistributable Package
HPC Pack 2008 R2 SDK
HPC Pack 2008 R2 MS-MPI Redistributable PackageBut the msmpi.dll or mpi.h are missing compared to the HPC Pack 2008 SDK installation. So I could not start to try some application development using MS MPI.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot James for your prompt help. Yes it does work now. I have few more questions here.
- Does Win HPC Server 2008 R2 uses SQL Server 2008 R2?
- What is the difference between the MS-MPI included in the HPC Server 2008 R2 and HPC Server 2008?
- Is MS-MPI going to support the features later:
- dynamic process spawn
- stop one MPI process without shutting down the whole MPI application
Many thanks,
Alice

Hello Alice,
The answers to your questions:
- Windows HPC server 2008 R2 supports both SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
- There are no big changes for MS-MPI for Windows Hpc Server 2008 R2, (you can refer to site http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee783541(WS.10).aspx for new features). But we do added some new features, like enhanced tracing, improved performance etc...
- There is no plan in the near future to add those two features.
Thanks,
James

Alice,
We've made HPC Pack 2008 R2 MS-MPI Redistributable Package the single package of MSMPI header files and lib files for HPC Server 2008 R2. After installing HPC Pack 2008 R2 MS-MPI Redistributable Package, you should be able to find mpi.h at %CCP_HOME%Inc (%CCP_HOME% is the system environment variable which value is the install dir of HPC Pack 2008 R2 MS-MPI Redistributable Package) and msmpi.lib at %CCP_HOME%Lib. Could you check if it work for you?
Thanks,
Keshuang
