Hi, I get the following error after running a Radiance simulation with Open Studio 1.5.0 (Windows 8.1, Energy Plus v 8.1.0). I've already done "the Scan for Tools" and tried to reinstall Radiance on a shorter pat (C:/Radiance).

@marika. These are file write errors, so ... i) does the output path exist?, ii) do you have write permissions to that path?, iii) do you have disk space?

I solved the problem removing the slash from spaces names.. so don't write "kitchen/lounge" because Radiance doesn't like it.

Thanks for your perseverance, @marika! We'll add this to the list of things we need to handle when exporting to Radiance.
