Hi Ikrima,

If you used that installer, and you let it modify your path for you, then you are ready to run. You can test this by going to a command prompt and typing:

rtrace.exe -version

You should see the Radiance version printed. If you get a "rtrace.exe is not recognized..." error, then your paths are likely not set up correctly.

Having said that, I recommend you try out the latest v5.0 release of Radiance. There are some important bug fixes and new features, including 64-bit Windows binaries. We posted new installers just the other day, here:

Hi All,

I have installed radiance from (radiance-4.2-win32.exe<https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/download/4.2/radiance-4.2-win32.exe>); Do I still need to compile radiance from source code after that? Or, it's now ready to be used?

Regards
Ikrima
