I'm running OpenVSP 3.11.0 on windows 7 64 bit.

I am getting an error when I try to run VSPAero in panel method. It gives the following messages:
 (0, 0) : ERR  : Nothing was built in the module
ERROR 7: Could not open History file: C:/Users/Jason/Desktop/Tools/OpenVSP/M-2.history
        File: ..\..\..\..\repo_v3\src\geom_core\VSPAEROMgr.cpp  Line:1045
ERROR 7: Could not open Load file: C:/Users/Jason/Desktop/Tools/OpenVSP/M-2.lod
        File: ..\..\..\..\repo_v3\src\geom_core\VSPAEROMgr.cpp  Line:1184

I get this whether I have the vsp model in same folder that the openVSP and VSPAero exe's exist in, or in their own vehicle folders. I'm able to generate mesh (panel) geometry, and I'm using the following setup file:
Sref = 15546.110000 
Cref = 33.241110 
Bref = 623.420200 
X_cg = 120.378900 
Y_cg = 0.000000 
Z_cg = 22.000000 
Mach = 0.000000 
AoA = 1.000000 
Beta = 0.000000 
Vinf = 100.000000 
Rho = 0.002377 
ReCref = 10000000.000000 
ClMax = -1.000000 
MaxTurningAngle = -1.000000 
Symmetry = NO 
FarDist = -1.000000 
NumWakeNodes = -1 
WakeIters = 5 
NumberOfRotors = 0 
NumberOfControlGroups = 0 

Any hints on what I'm doing wrong? I assume I'm doing something wrong since no one else seems to have this kind of problem.

Thanks, 
Jason

That error message is actually an OpenVSP error that happens after
something went wrong with the VSPAERO run -- causing VSPAERO to not
write out the *.history and *.lod files.

If you look at the VSPAERO Console tab, it may give some clues.

Otherwise, if you can post your *.vsp3 file, I can look at it to see
if anything jumps out.
