If anyone else comes across this issue, we haven't completely answered the problem, but we did find a temporary solution. It looks like the problem is associated with having multiple Windows user accounts and SketchUp 2015. The folder that contains the plugin is here: Windows\UserName\Appdata\Roaming\Sketchup\Sketchup 2015. By renaming the folder from "Sketchup 2015" to "Sketchup" we were able to get Legacy OpenStudio to work properly. Phew!

The installation is with E+ 8-5 but I don't think that should make a difference. I've got the same suite of software/plug-ins/OS working on another computer. It did cross my mind that there might be a conflict with one of the other plug-ins. This is someone else's computer, though, so I hesitate to uninstall their plug-ins.

I just installed Legacy OpenStudio v1.0.14 on a new machine (Windows 10, Sketchup Pro 2015) and the plug-in seems to load but it exhibits some buggy behavior. When I click on the New Zone tool (or navigate to it from the menu) I get the blue plus sign next to the cursor but when I click to place the zone nothing happens. I'm also not able to open or save an IDF - when I click on the toolbar nothing happens. Strangely enough, though, the Shade Tool works just fine.

I've installed Legacy OpenStudio on a number of computers and operating systems and this is the first time I've had any trouble at all. Has anyone experienced something like what I'm describing? Were you able to fix it?
