Dear Joshi,

You choose a test case that is specifically designed to test the  
symmetriser,
and to stop after the checking of input variables !
See line 65 of the README file in the same directory ... (this might be
better documented, tough), and the input variable  prtvol = -1 in
the t96.in input file.
If you have doubts that your version works for your system, try
other test cases,
and also, try to follow the tutorial (although the latter is easier  
to do
on a Unix machine).

There are Reference output files in the Refs directories
in each Test directory. In particular, the reference output file of your
test case is (in Windows naming conventions)

> C:\ABINIT\Test_v1\Refs\t96.out


Good luck,
Xavier
