When starting sketchup, the following list of load errors appear, and eht extension dos not show: Error Loading File C:/ProgramData/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/OpenStudio/Startup.rb Error: #<errno::eacces: permission="" denied="" -="" c:="" users="" darío="">

You can see the line of code that is causing the error here. It is trying to initialize a log file in a temp directory. In the end this directory is chosen by Qt's tempPath method. Can you open a command prompt and type the command:

echo %TEMP%

You should get back something like 'C:\Users\dmacumbe\AppData\Local\Temp\1'. Does your path contain any non-ASCII characters in it?

It does contain non- ASCII characters, my windows user name is Darío. I created a new user without them and now it is working fine.

Thanks a lot!
