Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] need Guild and Help using GenOpt

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

I do not use genopt, but I will try to help.  Have you successfully run this 
input file using runeplus.bat directly from the command line?  The EnergyPlus 
.err output file should indicate why EnergyPlus did not return successfully.

I do not see a weather file name as an argument in the RunEPlus command.  If 
this simulation requires a weather file that may be the problem.  The 
EnergyPlus Auxiliary Programs document discusses how to use RunEPlus.bat.
