Hi @deepa, I'm not sure if you are the same person that asked this question on the legacy OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in mailing list (this question is actually more appropriate here). In any case, make sure to install the 32 bit version of OpenStudio, SketchUp 2014 is a 32 bit program and will only work with 32 bit OpenStudio.

SketchUp 2015 is available in 32 and 64 bit versions, OpenStudio 1.5.0 will only work with the 32 bit version. The installer for OpenStudio 1.5.0 was made before SketchUp 2015 was released so to install 32 bit OpenStudio 1.5.0 with 32 bit SketchUp 2015, simply copy all the files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenStudio 1.5.0\Ruby\Plugins" to "C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins".

OpenStudio 1.6.0 will work with either the 32 or 64 bit version of SketchUp 2015 but you will still have to match the architecture with your OpenStudio install (e.g. install 32 bit OpenStudio to work with 32 bit SketchUp).

HTH, Dan
