Dear Salah<br>
I cannot help you with your installation problem, but let me add that <br>
even if it is possible to install quantum espresso on Windows <br>
machines, things are much easier using Linux. Technical support is not <br>
provided, AFAIK. You may ask your supervisor, or ask (but with <br>
moderation...) this mailing list, specially when things that should <br>
work don't.<br>
