Error 1 is most often an indication that TRNSYS could not find the deck 
file, which happens if it is installed in a folder with spaces in the 
name (such as "C:\Program Files") or if the deck itself is in a folder 
with spaces (e.g. "My Projects"). TRNSYS 15 is NOT compatible with 
spaces and MUST be installed in X:\Trnsys15, where X is any drive.

You only need one cnfgtr.trn file, which should be in X:\Trnsys15. Some 
releases of Trnsys 15 had a tendency to create empty cnfgtr.trn files in 
your deck directory, and sometimes you also have non-empty files in your 
deck directory. You can safely erase all of them (except the one in 
X:\trnsys15), but you can also leave them if you use the latest update: 
that one will simply ignore corrupt or empty cnfgtr.trn files.

I hope this helps,
