Joe,
The error with land price model is because of a change of variable name
format in model specification. You can refer to the user guide sections of
variable name and specification and coefficients for the new format. We'll
also provide some documents on converting from UrbanSim3 to UrbanSim4 soon.
For OpenEV you'll need to prepare a prototype_dataset and template OpenEV
project file beforehand. It works for the application of PSRC in our
environment with some file locations and names hard-coded. Because of
compatibility issue, we may eventually phase it out and it won't be
supported.

Hope these help.

Liming.
