Hi,

I’m working on upgrading to v8. We access Ignition via a Citrix environment. So I need an easy shortcut to roll out to all users.

With the v7 launcher, I could specify the project and gateway via the command line:  
clientlauncher.exe project=myProject gateway.addr=myserver:8088/main  
This worked great. I can’t find an equivalent in the v8 launcher.

On v8, I see how to put the clientlauncher-data folder into a zip file and deploy it - but it appears to still require it be installed into the User’s profile folder. I can’t just run it from any location. Normally I would just put the whole works in program files and make a shortcut to it, but the launcher doesn’t seem to “see” the config files there.

Any ideas?

The old way in which V7.9 that relied on the .jnlp worked for us since Java was part of people’s computers and could be updated at anytime. What is the work around since this is a real issue for us looking to use V8.0.

The only other idea I have for you is to try the weather in Phoenix, sorry.
