It solves one problem but there is a new problem now :-((
Without OPENMPI_HOME: Wrong pathname to help files.
D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog>mpiexec init_finalize.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
invalid if_inexclude
But I couldn't open the help file:
D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog\..\share\openmpi\help-mpi-btl-tcp.txt:
No such file or directory. Sorry!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
With OPENMPI_HOME: It nearly uses the correct directory. Unfortunately
the pathname contains the character " in the wrong place so that it
couldn't find the available help file.
set OPENMPI_HOME="c:\Program Files (x86)\openmpi-1.6.1"
D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog>mpiexec init_finalize.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
no-hostfile
But I couldn't open the help file:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\openmpi-1.6.1"\share\openmpi\help-hostfile.txt:
Invalid argument. Sorry
!

It looks like that the environment variable can also solve my
problem in the 64-bit environment.
D:\g...\prog\mpi\small_prog>mpicc init_finalize.c
Microsoft (R) C/C++-Optimierungscompiler Version 16.00.40219.01 für x64
...
The process hangs without OPENMPI_HOME.
D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog>mpiexec init_finalize.exe
^C
With OPENMPI_HOME:
set OPENMPI_HOME="c:\Program Files\openmpi-1.6.1"
D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog>mpiexec init_finalize.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
no-hostfile
But I couldn't open the help file:
"c:\Program Files\openmpi-1.6.1"\share\openmpi\help-hostfile.txt: Invalid
argument. S
orry!

At least the program doesn't block any longer. Do you have any ideas
how this new problem can be solved?
Kind regards
