Edward,That error message is basically an indication that for some reason, TRNSYS was unable to find the input file that you want to run. As it starts up, TRNSYS first opens a temporary file called trnsys.out. This file will later be renamed MyDeckName.lst but first, TRNSYS has to find out what the input file name is going to be. The next thing that it does is to look in the cnfgtr.trn file for some information about how TRNSYS is supposed to run. If the cnfgtr.trn file is found but is empty for some reason, you will get an error but TRNSYS, since it doesn't yet know what the input file name is, doesn't have anywhere to write the error. So you get the Error 1 message. There are some other ways that you can get this message but most of those are solved and prevented by IISiBat. I would suggest that you perform a search on your computer and look for files called cnfgtr.trn. Delete any that are 0K in size and the error should go away. Incidentally, the simulation launching procedure has been rewritten for TRNSYS 16 so that this annoying error cannot be generated.

Dear users, I was trying to "play around" with data reader type 9 to read a WYE2 format. When I run the TRNSYS the following message was displayed: Error 1 Check the list file for more information. But when I checked, (by clicking: Calculate - Open - List File), the List file had not been created (it's grey - inactive). What happened ? I'm often frustrated by this kind of error, because it alsohappens when I'm working invloving other components (not only when working withdata reader). Can anyone help me?
