<DIV>Hello Justin</DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks for the reply. That's helpful to know. I've since been able to launch further clusters and have not had similar problems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, I am a bit unclear about how to install the latest version of starcluster under Windows 7 if an earlier version has already been installed. I thought that I had installed the latest version, but the old version number keeps appearing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In brief, I downloaded the file starcluster-0.93.tar.gz and unzipped to a folder on my hard disk. I then went to the folder and ran pip install startcluster [note that easy install starcluster didn't work previously - see another post]. Is there a different method for upgrading the version under Windows 7? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
