ReadVarsESO.exe the program that extracts from the eso database and creates the csv file. So if E+ isn't able to run that file, you're not going to be able to get your csv variable output.

To troubleshoot it, you can try creating a folder and copying the files titled "ReadVarsESO.exe" and "RunReadESO.bat" into it (both found in the EnergyPlus PostProcess directory. Then find the "eplusout.eso" file in the EnergyPlus folder of your simulation output and copy that into the same folder with the executable and the batch file. Run the batch file and a csv document will be created in the same directory.

If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to tell you other than reinstall Energy Plus. Maybe someone else can provide more insight.
