WinSMP Problem

All of my units on one box keep downloading and then deleting.

It says Corestatus=FFFFFF(-1) or something similar. Whats going on?

Code:

This is #22 on the "List of Known Bugs" sticky in the Win SMP client sub forum, on the FAH forum:

22) Error FFFFFFFF (-1): This is not a bug but rather an installation problem. Recheck the readme and re-run install.bat entering your Windows username and password.

A lot of installs go awry because the user doesn't have a password set up for their username or they don't have the proper admin rights.

It has happened once or twice to me when i was running win smp.

As adak said, just rerun the the install.bat.

Before running the install again, if you haven't already rebooted, check in task mgr, processes and look for an mpiexec.exe in the tasks list. With the client stopped, mpiexec should also not be running. If it is kill it. if there were any cores running (there shouldn't be in this case), killing mpiexec will also end them.

After making sure all the client tasks are ended, then run install.bat

Cleint should then start and run ok.

Mpiexec is often still running after the client has been stopped when it has had a problem.

Thanks guys. Reinstalling the .bat worked.
