Simulation fail with ddy file

I'm using OpenStudio 1.9 to modelize a small passive greenhouse. When I choose the weather file for my location (found on the US department of energy website) , the simulation works just fine. But when I try to import the DDY file for the same location, the OpenStudio simulation fails and the OS report won't be generated, even though the EnergyPlus simulation was completed.

EnergyPlus Completed Successfully-- 8 Warning; 0 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min 17.85sec

I've tried to run the simulation with another weather file and another DDY file and I don't have this problem. Can someone tell me what seems to be the problem with my DDY file? I found it here. The name of the file is Montreal Intl AP 716270 (CWEC)
