GroundHeatTransfer:* objects are EnergyPlus idf objects which get used to automatically run slab as a pre-processing step when running an EnergyPlus simulation. For this use case, run the idf from the EP-Launch Single Input File tab.
If you want to run the Slab processor directly from the EP-Launch Utilities tab, then the idf objects are different. Essentialy, remove the "GoundHeatTransfer:Slab:" from the front of each object type (and delete the control object and any other objects that aren't Slab inputs). See example file \EnergyPlusVx-y-z\PreProcess\GrndTempCalc\SlabExample.idf.
