I assume that you downloaded NAMD binary for Windows from the web site.
Can I assume that you included path to NAMD in system variables? Can you
check the path in command prompt?
I did not bother to do that.
The NAMD2.exe binary is a small file, so I copy it with every
simulation.
(1) I would copy it to some empty directory and add input files there.
(2) I would start command prompt (cmd) in Windows7 and change the
current directory to that directory.
(3) Run "DIR" to verify that NAMD is there.
(4) start simulation, e.g. NAMD2.EXE +p2 input.conf > output.dat
"p2" indicates the number of processors/threads
input.conf - your input file
output.dat - show results of simulations
This works for me in Windows XP and Windows 2000 32-bit. However,
windows7 has this "UAC" stuff that prevents much software from running,
so power users just run away to Linux..... Do you get any UAC prompt?

Subject: namd-l: NAMD on 64 bit windows 2007
Dear All,
I bought a computer with 64 bit windows 2007 for running NAMD. But, I
could not run NAMD. It says "namd2 is not recognized as internal or
external command...". I have included NAMD in the system variables too.
Does anyone know the solution?. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Priyan
