[Paraview] [ParaView] Unofficial ParaView 4.1.0 SDK for Windows 32 and 64-bit

[Burlen Loring]

Hi Utkarsh,

I think it does implement MPI2. At least my codes make heavy use of MPI 
2 and it works fine. However, I'll look into it and report back.

Microsoft's documentation says:

    You may also redistribute this MS-MPI installation package with your
    own applications, to facilitate having an application that can run
    on a stand-alone workstation and easily take advantage of an HPC
    Pack 2012 R2-based cluster. Please refer to the license agreement
    for additional details. 


Sounds like if you use an installer it could handle the dependency.
