Hello !

I am currently attempting to build ParaView in Windows10 on my laptop by following [[Getting Started compilation guide]](https://github.com/Kitware/ParaView/blob/master/Documentation/dev/build.md).  
I installed vs2019 and qt5.15.2.

I run cmake successfully,but it is failed when I run ninja.

From the terminal:

Any help on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that you are missing [an MSMPI installation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/message-passing-interface/microsoft-mpi).

Though CMake should have failed…is your MPI installation too old?
