Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] IMPORTANT - Windows 7 users

It's possible -- that one wasn't tested by the person that
had the hanging problem.

I can't recompile the transition programs right now -- will be a day or

Can you install EnergyPlus on an XP computer and do the transition? 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
