When I run (after setup) the Ignition Client Launcher 7.9.10-rc1 this is what I get:

and here is the log file: [clientlauncher.log](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/f/f34b6c543009ae32df1076266beb4b2cd6fa28de.log) (22.2 KB)

Anyone knows what that is?

The problem seems to be this:

Can you share the contents of [http://localhost:8088/system/projectlist](http://localhost:8088/system/projectlist) ?

Ha… when I saw the log file in your replay it hit me:  
I had a picture in Ignition image library (which I uploaded) with a ‘&’ sign in the picture name (J&F.jpg)…  
I renamed the picture to JF.jpg and now it’s OK.

Yesterday I looked at the log file 10x times and I didn’t see it… 😇
