You need java 64-bit, uninstall your current java version and install this one:

Try using the native client launcher instead of the webstart link.

If you are using the native client launcher, it should have generated a clientlauncher.log next to the launcher executable. Open that and search for this line:

> Starting Java with the following parameters: java -classpath C:\usr\local\development\clientlauncher-data\launchclient.jar...

Starting at "java -classpath", copy the line into a terminal and try to run it. If there are any startup errors, they should be visible in the terminal.

OK, open a terminal window and run this and see what it says:

> [@tamerplc](#):
>
> java -classpath C:\Users\geaadmin.ignition\clientlauncher-data\launchclient.jar -Djavaws.sr.gateway.addr.0=xx.xx.xx.xx:8088:8043/main -Djavaws.sr.scope=D -Djavaws.sr.launchts=1528285514932 -Djavaws.sr.main=com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.DesignerStartupHook -Xms64M -Xmx2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.launch.BootstrapSwing

Also, you are sure that this machine has enough memory? The max memory is set to 2048MB, and Java won't start unless the OS can actually provide that memory.
