Hi,
I am using Rhino v7 and LBT 1.8. The Annual Loads component which I am using is marked as 1.8.2.
I have OpenStudio v3.9.o installed and Open Studio App v1.9.0 installed. When I checked the EnergyPlus version in the Open Studio folders, I have EnergyPLus v24.2.0 installed in both folders under my C drive.

However, I am still getting the following when I run any of the Honeybee components:
Runtime error (AssertionException): The installed EnergyPlus is 23.2.0. Must be version 24.2.0 or greater.
Get a compatible version…
Traceback:
line 83, in check_energyplus_version, “C:\Program Files\ladybug_tools\python\Lib\site-packages\lbt_recipes\version.py”
line 227, in script.

Please assist.

Hi @YogeshGooljar ,

I believe the current version of LadybugTools still only goes to OpenStudio v3.7.0 and OpenStudio Application v1.7.0 - you can check the ‘Compatibility Matrix’ for details on the current compatible software versions:

best,

This will probably most easily be solved by using the pollination cloud install file, that includes all the correct dependencies.

Thank you. I reverted to the previous version. It appears to have to have resoved the issue.

Hey @edpmay ,

Sorry that we just incremented the official version of OpenStudio that we are using to 3.9 this past Friday (3 days ago). I forgot to update the compatibility matrix but I just updated it now.

So the error that @YogeshGooljar was getting is correct, assuming that he ran the LB Versioner sometime this past Friday or later.

We are just about to update the pollination installer to include OpenStuido 3.9 so, give us a few hours and then, if you re-download it and run the pollination installer, you should have all of the OpenStudio dependencies up to date.

Otherwise, for those people using the Food4Rhino installer, just installing OpenStudio 3.9 from the NREL GitHub will do the trick.

The updated pollination installer with OpenStudio 3.9 is available now for download at the usual link:

So this should give everyone what they need to use OpenStudio 3.9 if they wish.

@chris Ah thank you so much. I must have been over eagar :). I did just run the LB Versioner a few days ago and got the error afterwards.

An update - we temporarily put back the older pollination installer with OpenStudio 3.7 because of an issue in Rhino 8 related to versions of .NET. It seems it affected a lot of Rhino plugins from what we can see on the McNeel discourse. Give us until the end of today and we can hopefully put back an installer with OpenStudio 3.9.

FYI, we figured out what was causing the issue in Rhino 8 and we have put back the Pollination installer with OpenStudio 3.9.
