Fell at the first hurdle!

I am trying to install the SMP console client.

I have downloaded the latest version, extracted it to c:\FAH and renamed the .exe to fah6.exe.

I ran fah6 -configonly -smp

I get an error:

mpiexec is not recognised.

I am running Windows 7 32bit.

where is the log kept?

This is the screen output.

c:\FaH>fah6 -configonly -smp

Right I have just downloaded the file you linked too and ran it and it took me through the config.

I think so, although looking at the log 9 retries and no work units.

Right everything appears to be running but only 50% CPU is being used?

Am I right in saying I need two instances of FAH running, create a new folder copy fah.exe to it and run the config again?

I thought it ran as a service, I am confused now!
