OpenStudio 1.6.0 comes with EnergyPlus 8.2., which is automatically installed in a subdirectory of OpenStudio. The installer and the tool search apparently do not recognize if EnergyPlus 8.2. is already installed in a different directory (e.g. D:\EnergyPlus 8.2.0). When trying to start an EP-Simulation from OpenStudio however, this fails already at the stage of idf expansion. Possibly the OpenStudio installation of EnergyPlus and the already existing installation of EP 8.2. are interfering.
I am reluctant to de-install the previous EP 8.2. version, because I want to use EnergyPlus also independently of OpenStudio.
Do I need to de-install EnergyPlus 8.2. before OpenStudio 1.6. is installed ?
