      Why am I receiving a "access is denied" warning in the Wind Fields module when using the parallel (GCV) solver?

      Q: When I pressed "start" button in Wind Fields module, in the Processing Output dialog box we received the following messages: 
      “Unable to open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH\SMPD\process\xxxx registry key, error 5, Access is denied.
      Unable to open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MPICH\SMPD\process\xxxx registry key, error 5, Access is denied.
      ......"
       
      A: This issue occurs when WindSim is not run with administrator privileges. However, it should not impact the functionality of the software. You can simply disregard these messages.
