[Radiance-general] 3 phase method in Windows OS

[Greg Ward]

This error could only be generated by an older version of dctimestep, as it was removed before June.  I don't know if there is a way to update your binaries to make sure you have the latest, which may (or may not) solve your problem.

Cheers,
-Greg
