Greetings Lee and welcome to the forum!

Sorry for taking so long to answer you, but time has been short lately

The openfoam-mswin project looks like it has been dropped. There have been no updates for over a year, and there haven't been any signs of it coming back to life.
I believe that the author of the project wrote somewhere that he would add more solvers depending on requests/needs from users... but there have been many questions left unanswered in the projects support page. If you check the text files in that folder where you installed OpenFOAM, you should find information about the author and how to contact him!


Now, if you want the complete OpenFOAM package, you have various possibilities... and here is the short list:

• Install Ubuntu 10.04 in a real or virtual machine and follow the official instructions on this page: http://www.openfoam.com/download/ubuntu.php
• If you really need OpenFOAM to run in Windows, here is a link to a list of (unofficial) possibilities: Cross Compiling OpenFOAM in Linux For Windows with MinGW - Section 17 Other Important Links

I also advise you to read the threads that are in this part of the forum (OpenFOAM Windows Installation), because there is a lot of information already here about... well... installing OpenFOAM in Windows!

Good luck! Best regards,
Bruno

Thx! Bruno. The threads really help me a lot. By the way, since OpenFOAM in Windows is not complete. I decided to use OpenFOAM in LINUX.
