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.

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…
