Command Line Fatal Error vs EPLauncher

Hi all,

I'm curious to know why when i run my .idf file in the command line, I receive a Fatal Error and EnergyPlus is terminated and receive no outputs. In contrast, when i run the same .idf and .epw files in the EP Launcher, it runs perfectly (albeit 9 warnings).

Why is this? Aren't the energyplus launcher and cmd line executable the same? Shouldn't I be able to receive the same output?

Thanks!
