Wrong path at

EnergyPlus/src/EP-Launch/epl-ui.frm

Line 6026 in 3c8844f

utilProg(7).applicationFile = "PostProcess\AppGPostProcess\appgpostprocess.exe"

-utilProg(7).applicationFile = "PostProcess\AppGPostProcess\appgpostprocess.exe"
+utilProg(7).applicationFile = "PostProcess\AppGPostProcess.exe"

But this requires recompiling it so...

Also, remove EP-Compare from the Utilities tab.
