Looks like you're using the latest Radiance version that we include with OpenStudio, and you're trying to use it from the Radiance measure, so I'm not sure why it's having trouble finding rmtxop.exe. It would be very helpful if you could post your project on Dropbox so I could take a look at everything.
Thanks for posting this log. It appears your system is having trouble finding rmtxop. I just confirmed that rmtxop is installed with the 2.2.0 Windows installer, and your log shows the Radiance measure is having no trouble finding the other Radiance executables upstream of the rmtxop command. So my first recommendation is to install the latest version of OpenStudio (2.4.0) and try your model again.
I installed the latest version of OpenStudio 2.4.0, like you recommended, but the result is exactly the same.
OK, sorry. What version of Windows are you running? Do you have any other versions of Radiance installed on this system? What happens when you type "where rcontrib.exe" and "where rmtxop.exe" at a command prompt?
I'm using Windows 7. No other version of Radiance. When I type either into cmd with 'where', i get their location C:\openstudio-2.4.0\Radiance\bin, BUT ONLY if I'm already in the \bin folder. When I try 'where' from somwhere else, I get 'INFO: could not find file for the given pattern(s)'. I tried 'where rayinit.cal' and it only works if I'm already in the lib folder. Is there something wrong with my path variables? Thanks for helping:)
