Windows SMP FAQ/Install Guide

[AtomicMoose]

Let's pull all pertinent install info into this thread so I can add something to [H]orde|Central.

Perhaps start with an install guide and go from there.

Basic Windows SMP Install Guide:

Make sure you have the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0. You can get it here. if you need it.

Download Windows SMP client from here:
Windows SMP Client

Run the self extracting EXE.

Go to the directory you installed it into and run "install.bat".

You should see a line twice about MPI working. If you don't see that then something is messed up.

Run FAH.exe to start up the client. Set up your Username and Team 33 and you should be ready to go.

Note: Stanford doesn't currently support running the client as a service, so you'll be stuck with a command window. There are workarounds for this but I'll leave that to someone else.
Note2: The client currently has to be run on a Windows account that has a password enabled. The account must have administrator access I believe. (I just used my main account, so not sure about that.)

Enjoy the SMP goodness.
