How do I solve an Energy+.ini file missing error?

I've seen several other threads, but no solid answer I could decipher. So, this could be basic and I'm daft.
I am getting an error that my Energy+.ini file is missing, and therefore 'entire eso treated as dictionary'....? (and takes forever to finish....)
* Warning * Output:PreprocessorMessage="ExpandObjects" has the following Warning condition:
* ~~~ * Cannot find Energy+.idd as specified in Energy+.ini.
* Warning * Output:PreprocessorMessage="ExpandObjects" has the following Warning conditions:
* ~~~ * Since the Energy+.IDD file cannot be read no range or choice checking was
* ~~~ * performed.
Where exactly should this file exist? Does it go with the model folder/file or does it exist somewhere in the C:\EnergyPlusV8-5-0 directory? I can't seem to find it.
I've looked through the documentation on BigLadder, but am confused/lost. I'm not trying to use a custom idd here, just the 'stock' one that comes with E+v8.5 is fine.

Maybe a good/better follow-up is the role this plays in 'pointing' to a 'custom? modified idd file....?
Are you seeing this error when calling EnergyPlus from the command line? From EPLaunch? A third-party interface?
And can you post the whole error message? Even if it doesn't help directly, it might help future searchers.
Sure. Running from EPlaunch. I'm not good enough wizard for cli ....yet. Error message is first appears in the 'simulation in progress' window (black window, looks like cli / ms-dos.) also appears in the .err file:
* Warning * Output:PreprocessorMessage="ExpandObjects" has the following Warning condition: * ~~~ * Cannot find Energy+.idd as specified in Energy+.ini. * Warning * Output:PreprocessorMessage="ExpandObjects" has the following Warning conditions: * ~~~ * Since the Energy+.IDD file cannot be read no range or choice checking was * ~~~ * performed.
Additional question...while not appearing in the error file....I am having a LONG delay at the end of a sizing run (re: not full sim)....with a cryptic 'treating ESO ad the data dictionary"....ideas?
