Dear Benjamin,

I’m not really a Windows user, let’s see if anyway I can help you.

I just tried installing the latest binary package (which is not very recent) of ALPS and Vistrails in 64bit version. All seems to work for me. In the specific I installed the packages: 1. alps-2.2.b3-win64.exe 2. vistrails-x64-setup-2.1.5-4fe986148829.zip 3. alps-vistrails-2.2.b3-win64.exe

Note that the sequence is important, i.e. alps-vistrails has to be installed after vistrails, such that it can install the ALPS module.

For further help I should ask you to write to the ALPS mailing list, you might find some Windows users that can help you directly. https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/listinfo/comp-phys-alps-users https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/listinfo/comp-phys-alps-users

Dear Michele, I am trying to use the MPS-Algorithm you implemented in ALPS. Using the 32bit Version of Vistrails(V2.1.2) with the 64bit newest binary of ALPS(2.2.b3-win64) I can use the mps_optim algorithm. When I try it with the 64bit version of Vistrails(V2.1.2-win64) the program stops after writing the parameter xml files. I just tried it on the first mps tutorial with the spin_one_half.py. Is there a way to get this working? Because I need the 64bit version for the systems I want to investigate.

Kind regards Benjamin Mille
