Ignition Designer Launcher Error

adesha · February 17, 2021, 4:16pm

Every time I try to launch my Ignition Designer, I get a “Launch Error Occurred” message. “Java process launch failed with error code 1: Error: could not open…”

I’ve updated and configured my Java settings, so I’m not really sure what else to do…?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I am getting this error as well. Design Launcher log shows:

I am getting the same error on version 8.1.2. No solution yet…

Update, found the solution to my issue on another thread:

I had the same issue but it was not in the same place.
I had to go to C:\Users\username.ignition. User name represents the name of the user on the computer. I deleted the Cache file and it worked.

How much memory is the designer set to use? (In the gateway’s settings.)

How much memory does your workstation have?

ABHISHEKH_V_K · July 20, 2022, 12:28pm

8GB Memory!

pturmel · July 20, 2022, 12:35pm

You didn’t answer both questions. Also, for the workstation, it matters how much is free.

pturmel · July 20, 2022, 12:40pm

Report this setting from the gateway:

pturmel · July 20, 2022, 12:46pm

And these settings from the Vision project you are launching:

ABHISHEKH_V_K · July 20, 2022, 1:19pm

4 GB is used in designer memory and client memory !

pturmel · July 20, 2022, 1:40pm

Ok, now how much free memory do you have in the workstation?

JordanCClark · February 16, 2023, 12:26pm

Try going to that path and deleting the 11.0.16 folder. It will force a fresh download of the runtine.
