Just wondering if the current legacy vision client launcher will be part of V8.3. I know 32-bit ARM isn't actively supported but having the ability to use the legacy launcher has allowed me to carry on using vision where i have lots of custom drawn objects that can't be replicated in perspective in V8.1. Hopefully the new changes to allow more tools for this in V8.3 should allow me to migrate but would be nice to know the option is still there. ---

It's still there in the latest beta builds we have internally. Even if it wasn't, it doesn't really matter - it's just a shell script that helps execute launchclient.jar and you can supply or replace with your own. ---

Close the launcher, delete the `.ignition/cache` folder, then open it and try again? ---

@lcs226 did you get this resolved? ---

@lcs226 I don't think this is an issue with 8.3, I remember having a similar issue due to java 11 support being dropped around the version you were upgrading from, I thought it was from 8.1.33 though. you need to make sure java 17 or above is installed on the device using the legacy client launcher and add arguments from this post [Linux java 17 opens and exports](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/linux-java-17-opens-and-exports/83546) the legacy launcher .sh ---

"Ignition 8.3.4 legacy Vision Client launcher on Windows 7 32-bit throws NoSuchFileException for clientlauncher-data\launchclient.jar after upgrading from 8.1. Does 8.3 support legacy Win7 32-bit clients? I have tried all different and no results. The system run other vendor software that is not upgradable to 64bit systems. The script always installs the launchclient.jar in the folder that contains legacyClient.bat not in "%USERPROFILE%\.ignition\cache\gw192.168.2.200\_8088\clientlauncher-data\launchclient.jar"
