If you are receiving this message while running a simulation then the issue may be with a file on your installation. 

To fix this please delete all files inside the EnergyPlus folder at your user AppData space - This directory can be accessed from DB menu File>Folders> EnergyPlus folder and try to run the simulation again.


The folder location should be C:\Users\"your username" \AppData\Local\DesignBuilder\EnergyPlus\



If the issue persists, please confirm that you have installed the 2015 or latest version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.  

The setup files can be downloaded from the official Microsoft website in the downloads section.




Please contact the DesignBuilder support team if you need more assistance.
