If that's your only error, then you might be okay.

However there are transition programs (1 per release) that you can use:

V1-0-3 to V1-1-0
V1-1-0 to V1-1-1
V1-1-1 to V1-2-0
V1-2-0 to V1-2-1
V1-2-1 to V1-2-2 (the current version, with release of V1-2-3 
scheduled for October)

You can find zips of these programs in the folder:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EnergyPlus_Support/files/Utilities/

The newer transition programs (last version or two) also properly 
transition all the comments so that a "full" transition gets you the 
same file as before with the changes.  Older versions -- you might 
want to use the "diff" option to check for any changes.
