Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] batch processing in Windows

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It expects to have an Energy+.ini file in the same folder
from where you are running and THAT points to the place where the
EnergyPlus.exe and idd and, etc are.  Specifically the .idd file as
you will already be running the EnergyPlus.exe file at that point -- our
script files that build files for our test suite runs use that.

Searching the documentation for Energy+.ini -- I find several references
-- see if that helps.

If you don't have one, then it builds it first time and assumes that
everything is in that folder.
