I hear you on the Results Viewer thing, it's a shame that the only way to view illuminance map results was removed from OpenStudio in favor of a new tool that explicitly ignores this data. The good news is the Radiance measure still writes that data out, and you can simply use the Results Viewer that you have already to view it. The reason the Radiance measure requires OpenStudio v2.x is that there were other elements of the Radiance packages we shipped with OS 2.x that the measure requires. I recommend you use OpenStudio 2.x to run the Radiance measure, and then use a copy of Results Viewer that you have to open and view the illuminance map data. There are several earlier versions of 2.x that still work with earlier versions of SketchUp, and write the sql files in a format that Results Viewer will open. None of this is officially supported of course, but it can be done. Good luck!
