    Sorry about that, it's one of those situations where it made more sense in our head during development...

    The idea is that if the provided MS-MPI toolbox was installed during blueCFD-Core's installation, then our uninstaller will not take care of uninstalling said MS-MPI toolboxes. There are a couple of reasons why we chose to do this:

    1. Even if the option was chosen in blueCFD-Core's installer, namely to also install the provided MS-MPI on Windows, it doesn't mean that it really was installed or not, since it allows the end-user to choose to not install it.

    2. Even though when blueCFD-Core installer tries to install MS-MPI, it might already be installed, therefore we can't uninstall it automatically with blueCFD-Core's uninstaller.

    3. It is also possible that there was a more recent MS-MPI toolbox already installed, in which case there isn't much we can do.

    So, to answer your question:

    • Since it's just a warning, you can ignore this warning.
    • It only becomes a problem if by any chance the MS-MPI version that was installed by blueCFD-Core has messed up something in Windows and is as of now giving problems with other applications. But we are not aware of such a situation.
