Error launching Designer remotely with error java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException

[tamerplc]

I set up 8.1 LTS version on one server and trying to open it from my PC which is connected to the server and getting the Below errors. But if I open a designer from the server itself it works fine.

i got the below error from my local Pc where i open designer .

Launch failed on step "DownloadRuntimeStep" with error:

See these threads:

[BUG-YT-336] Exception launching designer

I think we can change jre-win folder name to 11.0.7 to solve this problem. [image]

Unable to launch designer after updating to 8.0.16

@framebuilder Deleting the jre-win dir if it exists before launching a client would help if there is a prior failure. The JRE is only dowloaded once per version so after it succeeds there should be no issue from there on out so simply launching a client or designer on a machine should allow you to get a cached runtime (assuming you don’t hit this issue, which the previously mentioned workaround should fix) It should also be noted that a fix for this is currently submitted for testing and shoul…

thanks @witman it works after renaming the folder to 11.0.7
