Hi everyone,  
I’m having a problem when I plug in a list of OSM file addresses in _Honeybee\_Re-Run OSM_ Component.

I’ve tested this on _VER 0.0.65(JAN\_01\_2020)_ and _0.0.64 (2018-Dec-10)_ of the component on two different computers and both rhino 5 and 6 and I got the errors every time.

A similar issue has been discussed earlier in [here](https://discourse.ladybug.tools/t/re-run-osm-component-old-error-solution-exception-expected-path/7005). but as @chris suggested, this one is different from that, so I’m posting it here under a new topic.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

You are using an older version of the component. The fixed version should be dated Dec, 04 2019

@mostapha ,  
Thank you for your response,  
I tested the latest version of the component ( _VER 0.0.65(JAN\_01\_2020)_), but I get errors again:

@Nimafo, thanks. Can you also clarify what version of OpenStudio do you have installed on your machine?

I changed the version of my Open Studio to 2.5 as it has been suggested [here](https://discourse.ladybug.tools/t/ladybug-0-0-67-and-honeybee-0-0-64-release/4473), and now it works fine.

@mostapha thanks for the hint. 🙂

Hi @mostapha , I alse met this error, and after change version from 2.9.1 back to 2.5.0 it is solved. Seems indeed the version is the cause.
