Weather File Error

Hi

New to the list, so please excuse the question if it has been asked
before . . . . which I have the feeling it has. Seems like a simple
issue and I'm just overlooking the obvious.

I am receiving an INITO ERRORS dialog box when simulating performance
that says "Errors while reading weather files - ABORTING".

It started in V3.6, then carried over to V3.61. I have uninstalled
3.61, and reinstalled but that did nothing. I also noticed that when
the system tries to download through the DOE weather site, the software
seems unable to make a connection.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Douglas,

I just ran into the same problem, If eQuest is unable to download via internet, you can download the weather file from the link give below and place the weather file under eQuest weather file directory. ( C:\Program Files\eQUEST 3-61\Weather ). Also, make sure you have the file name similar both the places. I think it accepts only 8 characters ( ex..austintx.bin ).

That did it - I dropped it in both the tmx and root directory of /weather.

Thank you all for the quick help
