Openstudio Simulation Failure [closed]

edit

I am running OS version 1.9.0. I just started with OS this week and first installed Sketchup Make and then installed OS 1.9.0.

I am trying to learn the basics of building a simple building energy model so my model is very basic. A small, 2-zone, single-story building (one space per zone). No matter how simple I make the model the simulation I am running within OS fails with multiple errors and I am trying to understand if it is information I am failing to input or some other.

Pasted in below is the text contained within the eplusout.err text file. I am not versed in how all the files communicate data, but what stands out in the error file is "possible incorrect IDD" file. Hopefully someone can point out my problem.
