I have been using openMPI for my application with intel visual fortran. The version that I am currently using is openMPI-1.6.2. It works fine iwth fortran code compiled in 32bit and run it with openMPI 32 bit files. However recently I moved to a 64 bit machine and even though I could compile the code successfully with intel fortran 64 bit and also pointing the openMPI to the corresponding 64 bit files, the exe would not start and threw the error:
*the application was unable to start correctly (0x00007b)*

This is because the msvcr100d.dll file (this is required by openMPI even when I run in 32bit mode) is a 32 bit dll file and it probably requires 64 bit equivalent. I could not find any 64 bit equivalent for this dll. My question is why is openMPI looking for this dll file (even in case of 32bit compilation). Can i do away with this dependency or is there any way I can run it in 64 bit?


64-bit Windows of course includes full 32-bit support, so you might still run your 32-bit MPI application. You would need a full 64-bit build of the MPI libraries for compatibility with your 64-bit application. I haven't seen any indication that anyone is supporting openmpi for ifort Windows 64-bit. The closest openmpi thing seems to be the cygwin (gcc/gfortran) build. Windows seems to be too crowded for so many MPI versions to succeed.
