I'm trying to use a microsystem from IEEE 8500 Node, but I'm having some issues.
On "Run_8500Node_Unbal" I select first lines from Compile to Solve (as described on file) and it compiles fine. But, when I try to execute a Do command on next line (Show Voltage LN Nodes), opens my text editor looking for file "IEEE8500u_VLN_Node.txt" that doesn't exist.
Any clues?
Thanks.

I occasionally hear of such issues, but I don't have a clear idea of what is going on because few users have this problem. I suspect it has something to do with wrong directories or inadequate permissions.
The file should exist in the same directory where the Run_8500Node_Unbal.DSS file is located. Look to see if it is there. If it is not there, search your whole disk for the file.
One explanation could be that you have installed the OpenDSS folders in a the Program Files folder and you do not have permission for your program to write in that folder. Windows will put the output files in a different folder. If that is the case, re-install the program, or at least the examples, in some place where you have permission.

Roger, you were right! Executing the OpenDSS as administrator solve the problem.
Thank you!
