Wolfgang, I am running "cmake ." and "make", followed by "mpirun -np 4 ./step-17 " in the step directory. Mpirun is working on step-40 and step-42, but not on step-17 and step-18.
I have also installed Dealii 9.5 using Candii. In this installation I am able to mpirun step-17 and step-18. Though I was preferring the spack installation because it installs, by default, most of the dependencies required for running Dealii tutorials.

Ananya, I must admit that I don't know. The error code -3 corresponds to METIS_ERROR_MEMORY = -3, /*!< Returned due to insufficient memory */ which is perhaps not surprising given that something is trying to allocate 103 TB of memory. I tried step-17, and it works on my system. So this must be something specific to Windows. How exactly are you calling the program? With MPI via mpirun? I don't have experience with running MPI on Windows, but would have assumed that this is generally not a great idea.
