Hi, I tried this:

import subprocess

subprocess.call(['C:\EnergyPlusV8-6-0\energyplus.exe', '-w','C:\EnergyPlusV8-6-0\PRT_Lisboa.epw','C:\EnergyPlusV8-6-0\AdultEducationCenter.idf'])

but in the eplus.err says:

** Severe  ** HVACTemplate objects are found in the IDF File.
**  Fatal  ** Program Terminates: The ExpandObjects program has not been run or is not in your EnergyPlus.exe folder.

In fact, the ExpandObjects application file is there. Also, for other .idf files it asks for the in.idf and also doesnt run.

Do you know what to do?

Thank you very much for your time
