Hello Statalist Forum,

I am using Stata 15 on Windows 10.

Currently I try to rebuild the example in the help to understand how to use the multishell module in my daily work to optimize larger tasks.
The ability to use some computional power of my colleagues for larger loops is promising but I can not manage to get the example to work.

Sadly this is not working as expected.

The error message I get is:
. multishell run, threads(2) sleep(2000)
No Stata exe found. Please set a path using multishell exepath.
something required
The code I executed is:
multishell path "N:\marcus.palmann\Stata test\multishell\test\output", clear
multishell add "N:\marcus.palmann\Stata test\skripte\Benchmark_2.do"
multishell exepath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stata15\StataMP-64.exe"
multishell status
multishell run, threads(2) sleep(2000)
The Benchmark_2.do file is the MonteCarlo Test copied from the help file.
multishell itselfs seems to work just fine as the status returns the following:

I tried several changes in the code but I always get this error.
Is anybody familiar with the problem and could help me find my mistake?

I have great hopes for JanDitzen to help me to use this powerful command.

many thanks and best regards
Marcus
