[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Error message: in.idf missing

["Steven (Xing) Shi" <SX99A@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes. I was in the EP root folder.  My directory is as follows:

E:\Research\Software\EnergyPlusV3-1-0

Under this folder, there are standard EP installation folders such as Backup, Dataset, Documentation, etc.  Others are those files installed in the root folder.  EnergyPlus.exe and in.idf are indeed in the same root folder.

I understand that I also need to specify the epw file.  However, I suppose it has nothing to do with the error message "in.idf" missing.  I just can't figure it out.
