I am having a difficulty installing the openstudio-standards gem, see the command window screenshot for reference. When I build the gem, it says that I have built it successfully, however, when I go to install it, it says that I need to have a u:\ drive folder path specified. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance for any help! image description

@dpud12 If you run: echo %HOMEDRIVE% Do you see C: or U: ? At work, when I'm connected to the internal network, something IT thing changes my %HOMEDRIVE% from C: to U:, which in turn creates problems like this. I'm wondering if your network has something similar.

Yep that is exactly what is occurring, thanks!

If installing it to your %HOMEDRIVE% isn't working, try this:

Make an Environment Variable called GEM_PATH with the Value C:\Ruby200-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0

NOTE this does not point to your Home directory, but your Ruby installation

Download the source code or clone the source code using Git.
In a command prompt, navigate to the openstudio-standards/openstudio-standards directory of the source code.
gem build openstudio-standards.gemspec ENTER to build the gem.
gem install openstudio-standards-0.1.4.gem ENTER to install the gem. NOTE: You may get a warning message about the path in this step. Ignore this message.

@aparker Thanks so much, this worked wonderfully!

One additional step that I had to do was to create an Environment Variable named HOME with the Value: C:\ to get the measure to be recognized properly in the OpenStudio GUI
