I wrote a simple MPI application under Visual Studio 2013 which compiles and builds fine. I'm running Windows 7 on a standard laptop (no cluster). I installed "Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2" to get the proper MPI stuff and I've been able to execute my application from a DOS command line:
> mpiexec -n 4 .\testMPI.exe
Question: how to launch this (parallel) application from Visual Studio 2013 directly?
