Need help! I could not open the ignition project with Designer Launcher; it always loaded the verfing, and nothing opened. I tried solutions for similar problems, and nothing worked for me. show "the verification screen" no errors appear.

Can you run this command (copy/paste it from here or that log file) in a command prompt and then copy _that_ output here for us to see? ```python C:\Users\Lenovo\.ignition\cache\resources\runtimes\17.0.12\bin\java.exe -classpath C:\Users\Lenovo\.ignition\cache\resources\platform\launchclient.jar\000000002CE86F06\launchclient.jar -Djavaws.sr.gateway.addr.0=http://localhost:8088 -Djavaws.sr.launchts=1737289328006 -Djavaws.sr.main=com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.DesignerStartupHook -Djavaws.sr.platform.edition=maker -Djavaws.sr.platform.plugins= -Xms64M -Xmx1024M -Djavaws.sr.memory.init=64M -Djavaws.sr.memory.max=1024M --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.event=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.tree=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.synth=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.apple.eawt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.image=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.shell=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing.plaf.synth=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing.table=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.print=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=false -Djavaws.sr.screen=0 -Djavaws.sr.scope=D com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.launch.BootstrapSwing ``` ---

Hmm. It might be worth trying to launch again after deleting the `~/.ignition/cache` folder entirely. I'm not sure why this is happening, it seems some resource files are missing from the JAR files in your cache. If they continue to be missing after deleting the cache and launching again then it's possible some firewall or network security is intereferring. ---

I removed the cache and still the same problem ==\> i install it on anthor machine and worked , it's definitely the firewall which make the problem. Thanks for helping.
