Why is my OpenStudio Executable not Accessible?

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to perform the simple task of importing an IDF model into Grasshopper. For this, I selected the LoadEModel component from HoneyBee. Instead of loading the model, this produces the following error:

  1. Solution exception:An OpenStudio installation was found at C:\Users[myusername]\ladybug_tools\openstudio-3.4.0\bin\openstudio.exe
    but the OpenStudio executable is not accessible.

After trying different things, I need some help.

I am using:

  • Rhino 7
  • Ladybug 1.5.0
  • OpenStudio 3.4.0

OpenStudio is now installed under
C:\Users[myusername]\ladybug_tools\openstudio-3.4.0

In other locations, it wasn’t even found by Ladybug.

Thanks for your guidance.

Additional note: The HB Check Versions component also produces an error:

  1. Solution exception:index out of range: 1

All outputs say “No data was collected…”. When OpenStudio wasn’t found by Ladybug, I got versions for lbt_gh and python.

SOLUTION
After doing everything with admin rights (Rhino execution and installations), the described errors vanished. Now I’m struggling with EnergyPlus version incompatibilities… :slight_smile:
