Operating System: Windows7 32 bit
Configuration:         OS 1.8.0/EP 8.3.0 bundled, 
                             plus EP 8.2., EP 8.1  installed separately ToolsOS1.8.0.png
 
Similar to the incompatibility found with OpenStudio 1.6.0  (see earlier question: https://unmethours.com/question/3110/...),  running EP simulations lead to immediate crashes as follows:
 
(a)  when starting a simulation with EP-Launcher  8.3.
 
(b)  when starting a simulation with OS 1.8.
 
Since joregon's solution to the OS 1.6./EP 8.2. crashes worked fine, I intend to try to re-install a separate EP 8.3.
version as a workaround, if nobody else  can give a better recommendation.

I see you've moved from a C-style user name to a Java-style name. Why not an UnmetHours tag style name: os-user-at?

SOLUTION
 
(Thanks to earlier contribution from joregon [https://unmethours.com/users/549/jore...]) :
 
(1) delete the EnergyPlus directory with the bundled EnergyPlus 8.3.
 
(2) install the 32-bit version of  EnergyPlus 8.3.
 
Now the simulations run smoothly.
