Hi,  
I would like to have a button that closes the Vision SCADA but when I call the function system.gui.closeDesktop(“primary”) an error accours that says that I cannot close the primary screen.  
Is there a way to circumvent this?  
Thanks

Try [system.util.exit()](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.exit).
