Starting a 2nd kernel?

I am doing a long computation and wanted to use a 2nd kernel to continue working interactively in a new notebook. I followed the instructions given here:

But any attempt to launch the new kernel, either directly or by evaluation in the notebook using it, results in this:

I am running 10.4.1.0 on Win 7 x64, with current support. I thought we could run 2 kernels. I sent this into support, but perhaps someone here understands this.

Kind regards,

David

Hello.

When I encounter this problem usually one of the following happens:

  1. I try to run 2 MM kernels for 2 MM versions (say 1 on 10.2 and 1 on 10.4) and I use the kernel that is not “Local” for the second instance. In this case, switching to second instance to “Local” resolve the problem

  2. I try to open MM notebook/ run unit test directly from workbench when I have one notebook already opened. In this case, quit all notebooks, start to run MM notebook or run test from workbench first, then run another notebook.
