Hi, XingShi,
Are you using a PC running Windows VISTA?
If you are, there are many other possibilities that will prevent a DOS program from running properly, without going through a Windows interface and without Adminstrator privilege.
EPlus rename files before execution. If you copy a file to a new directory in VISTA it can be Read only and may not modified.
Therefore, files in two different file directories can behave differently, one works and one fails, simply because it is read only and cannot me renamed by the preprocessor.
When you run with the EPlaunch, the paths are set up by the EPlaunch. When you run your own batch file, you are responsible in setting up the necessary file paths. There are about nine of them.
If "runeplus 1 1" is your input in DOS command line, I cannot see how it would work. %1 and %2 must be entered with full-path information.
set program_path=
set program_name=EnergyPlus.exe
set input_path=ExampleFiles\
set output_path=ExampleFiles\Outputs\
set post_proc=PostProcess\
set weather_path=WeatherData\
set pausing=N
set maxcol=250
The runeplus.bat sets up the path as above. It works only with an IDF file in the ExampleFiles directory.

Subject: Re: Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Processing IDF file error
When using EP-Launch, there is no error in the ERR file. 0 Warning, 0 Severe errors.
When using DOS mode to run the same IDF file, it did not yield ERR file. I think the program just stopped somewhere before the ERR file was produced.
It might be caused by the IDF file because I tried another IDF file and it ran just fine in both DOS mode and EP-Launch. The thing I don't understand is that the same IDF file runs ok in EP-Lauch but not in "runeplus 1 1" mode.
