Hi Utkarsh,
I think it does implement MPI2. At least my codes make heavy use of MPI
2 and it works fine. However, I'll look into it and report back.
Microsoft's documentation says:
You may also redistribute this MS-MPI installation package with your
own applications, to facilitate having an application that can run
on a stand-alone workstation and easily take advantage of an HPC
Pack 2012 R2-based cluster. Please refer to the license agreement
for additional details.
Sounds like if you use an installer it could handle the dependency.

That is correct. That's precisely why we've stuck with 1.4.4. I spent
a lot of time trying to packing 1.6.* on Windows to no success and
then decided to just stick with 1.4.4.
Problem is that the source code for the current MS-MPI builds does not seem
to be publicly available,
The problem with using MS-MPI is two fold:
1. I can't remember if its support MPIv2 API. I don't think so, but I
may be wrong.
2. The license (at least when I checked) doesn't allow us to packing
the dlls in our binaries. In other words, we would always have to have
the user manually install using the installer distributed by MS.
