title: Installing MPI for Windows
body: <p>I am trying to install MPI for Windows 8, so when I searched net I got steps for installing it on XP/7 but not for windows 8. The link is: <a href="http://swash.sourceforge.net/online_doc/swashimp/node9.html">http://swash.sourceforge.net/online_doc/swashimp/node9.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But firstly when I have to allow mpi.exe and smpd.exe to communicate through firewall these exe files are not listed.
  Secondly, when I run cmd(as administrator) and type : "smpd -install", 
  it says : "Unknown option: -install". I  guess the command for windows 8 is something else.
  So I will be really grateful if anyone helps with it because I'm not able to proceed further.</p>
