That's what it's supposed to do. It's starting the protocol that it uses to communicate with Mathematica which usually launches it.  So the executable can be loaded, but it looks like it is crashing.  

There is test data provided with SimulationTools.  Can you try that file?

ImportHDF5[FileNameJoin[{$SimulationToolsTestSimulation, "output-0000/bbh/phi.xy.h5"}]]

If that fails as well for you, and works for Barry, then that shows that the problem is not related to the file.

Barry, I assume you were testing with the development version?  I looked at the changes since the release, and I don't see anything which might be a serious bug which has not been backported.
