Hi Mark, Last time I tried this (2016, Windows 8 64-bit), NONMEM needed some convincing: 1) You have to copy over the right object files from Microsoft MPI into the NONMEM mpi link directory mpi\mpi_wini; _and_ change the nmfe compiler call to include the right Microsoft MPI libraries. This should allow you to compile a nonmem executable using the Microsoft MPI libraries. 2) You need to launch nonmem with the right wrapper (I think it was mpiexec) 3) You have to configure firewall rules to allow local communication for MPI. This may be tricky, as windows detects each nonmem.exe as a different executable with different firewall rules. If I remember correctly, this is where I got stuck last time. It *did* work however when deactivating the Windows Firewall. Hopefully these vague pointers can help you; I unfortunately did not retain my notes. If you get it working, it would be worthwhile to document this process for the community! My suggestions to link to Microsoft MPI by default (as mpich2 is hopelessly outdates) were not high on ICON's priority list. Best regards, Ruben
