The file should be located at c:\radiance\lib.

If it isn't your radiance installation probably was not correct.

It can be that you installed at the default locations and HB is having trouble finding it?

If so i recommend to reinstall radiance at C as the home directory.

Hello Abraham,

Thank you for the fast reply. I do have c:\radiance\lib but the file is not there, will try to reinstall Radiance to see if that fixes the problem.

Thank you once more,

Blanca

Abraham,

I reinstalled Radiance but the file is still not there, I've checked in other 2 computers and installed it in a brand new one and still nothing. Is there any other way I can get that file?

Thank you,

Blanca

Which version of Radiance are you using. Try this link for installer: https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/tag/5.0

and make sure you're changing the installation address to "c:\radinace"

Thank you both.

Mostapha, unfortunately I am not allowed to install anything in my computer that does not come from an official site, so I am using the latest official Radiance version (2.0) will be happy to install the newest one if there is any official site that provides it.

With Abraham's attachment the simulation runs, but it still gives me the following error:

Any idea what could be going wrong?

Hi Blanca,

You mean you're using Radiance Desktop? That is very outdated and I'm surprised that the analysis is even running as some of the parameters have been removed between now and then.

The link is as official as it can get. It is the official Radiance's github repository under NREL (National Renewable Energy Lab) github account. I would go ahead and talk to the IT at your office to update Radiance installation on all the machines including yours.
