open studio cannot find energyplus installation

noobie user - Energy plus is v9.0.1 and seems to runin standalone mode fine - as I have run the excercise files successfuly. installed openstudio v2.8 on Win7pro64 - the file builder and interface with Sketchup works ok and I have built a file with most of my desired input data complete, but when I hit run, the following output files are generated.

I don't see either openstudio or energy plus in my root drive path statement, but I don't know if they should be. I am running the files in the main Open Studio directory, which is installed on the C drive, as is the energy plus folder.

  open studio cannot find energyplus installation
 noobie user
 - Energy plus is v9.0.1 and seems to runin  standalone mode fine - as I have run the excercise files successfuly.
installed openstudio v2.8 on Win7pro64 - the file builder and interface with Sketchup works ok and I have built a file with most of my desired input data complete, but when I hit run, the following output files are generated. 
 I don't see either openstudio or energy plus in my root drive path statement, but I don't know if they should be.  I am running the files in the main Open Studio directory, which is installed on the C drive, as is the energy plus folder.
