I want to run a small simulation before executing a 90 run batch. However, during my initial run all the eso, SQL or other files are missing from subfolders. On diagnosis, I saw the error file reporting missing components which is wrong. Here is the part of the error file and corresponding object in idf-

 Branch,
   HeatSys1 Demand Load Branch 19,  !- Name
   ,                        !- Pressure Drop Curve Name
   Coil:Heating:Water,      !- Component 1 Object Type
   VAV_2_HeatC,             !- Component 1 Name
   VAV_2_HeatCDemand Inlet Node,  !- Component 1 Inlet Node Name
   VAV_2_HeatCDemand Outlet Node;  !- Component 1 Outlet Node Name

Error
    Field=[Component 1 Outlet Node Name] was blank.
     ** Severe  ** IP: IDF line~7520 Object=BRANCH, name=HEATSYS1 DEMAND LOAD BRANCH 19, Required

There are about 60+ similar errors reporting blank fields which are not blank and run OK without JE+.
What could be wrong?

Just changed the directory to EnergyPlus 8.6 instead of 8.5 and it seems its running now.
