RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] error in shortcut for transition program V2-2-0 to V3-0-0

[Yuen Liu <yli006@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the properties POPup, please check the
       Start in: C:\EnergyPlusV3-0-0
 
This should point to the same directory as the transition program and the files  it uses for transition.
 
It worked on my VISTA PC.
 
The only difference is that the black DOS window is closed as soon as the second gray coloured window is opened.
 
It will than ask for  'diff'  'full'  'yes'  ..  and finally the file name of the IDF to be cpmverted.
 
The file name requires the full path,
i.e., C:\EnergyPlusV2-2-0\ex1\my2-2.idf

If you set the Start in: to this directory, the short cut will not work.
 
I am still working on the batch file version which passes the option strings.
 
The new version does not give  .idfnew and  .idf is modified.
The 'diff' option produces  .idfdif.
 
Regards
Dr. Li.

Dear all,

For some reason, a list of errors show up when I use the transition
program from the desktop menu shortcut. It works fine when clicked
directly from the folder location.

Thanks,

Carlos
