The images weren't working, so i had to edit the post. Sorry about that.


I have been trying to simulate the E+ file and every time a window pops up with 'Check File Version'. I tried to proceed anyways, and this never get me the results/empty excel sheet. image description

I tried to uninstall E+ files from my laptop, tried to download newer version updates, and still get the same error. I searched online for fourms that discusses bugs regarding the versions and most linked urls for it are expired or not found.

I also tried to use in the Utilities tab the IDFVersionUpdater but it doesn't provide versions other than v9.3.

It seems the transition files are unavailable but i have no idea how to download them, especially because i couldn't find anything in the referred website.

I am kind of a beginner in rhino/gh, so I need help with how exactly I need to do step by step on how i can convert 9.3 to 9.6.0.

The equals sign in "=9.3" is weird. What does your Version object look like in your IDF file? Also what is the pull path to your EnergyPlus 9.6.0 folder?

I have the E+ in C:\EnergyPlusV9-6-0

It's not supposed to have a '=' sign? I am insure how i have it. I actually tried to delete my energyplus version and downloaded 9.3 version so i won't need to update, but the issue was the same, saying =9.3 is not the same as 9.3.0 and need to update. Do you have any idea how to remove the idf =9.3 in the first place? do i need to uninstall every file i own and re-download everything? honestly it would be more convenient.

In my computer, the IDFVersionUpdater software is working properly. And you can choose different versions after the update. It is recommended that you reinstall the EnergyPlus software and then try the update tool again.
