I have a windows 7 32 bit machine that I need to load a client screen. I installed OpenJDK17U-jdk\_x86-32\_windows\_hotspot\_17.0.9\_9, set the javahome, modified my .bat file . When I run the batch file I get Error Launching application: ValidationException: JPMS Module opens/export check failed! check your --add-opens and --add-exports clauses I have not seen this error before when running on 32bit machines. Any pointers Please. ---

I tried the example show with my mods to suit as shown C:\legacyLaunch\legacyClient.bat [http://192.168.2.200:8088](http://192.168.2.200:8088) C Saw\_Dust\_Collector F C:\legacyLaunch\LaunchArgsIgnition.txt Copied the entire contents of the txt file as shown to LaunchArgsIgnition.txt. I still get the same error. ????? ---

Did you make sure all the args are on a single line that is the first line of the args file? Does it work if you paste the args into the `javaArgs=` section of the batch file instead? ---

> [@Kevin.Herron](#): > > javaArgs= Thanks Kevin, I did paste as a single line and it is the first line. Unless I have an old version of legacyclient.sh, there is no line 'javaArgs=' in that file, so I do not know where to add it. ---

Okay, looks like an older version. Try this one. [legacyClient.txt](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/8gGLGKEp9QSKCl9VUx6BVjKb5sQ.txt) (4.8 KB) ---

Still get same error. Do I need to make any mods? ![Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/b/6b73bf88ba0dde3e08e79e74d2ab6d6622774bff.jpeg) ---

No, the arg file should have been enough. The older version you had didn't have support for the args file. I'm out of ideas. ---

Actually, one more thing to try. See if this possibly updated string in the args file works: ```python --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --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-exports=java.base/sun.security.action=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 ``` ---

You'll probably need to give support a call and see if they can figure it out with a screen share or something. @jcoffman are there any new opens/exports needed recently? ---
