[QE-users] Enquiries About Quantum Espresso (Installation & Operation)

[Giuseppe Mattioli]

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