Hello,

I’m using **Ignition Maker Edition** and installed the latest versions of both the **Ignition Gateway** and the **Ignition Designer Launcher** today, directly from the Gateway page. However, when I try to connect the **Designer Launcher** to the Gateway, I get an error saying:

```python
Incompatible gateway version

```

I’ve tried:

- Reinstalling the Designer Launcher.
- Clearing the cache folder in `C:\Users\Username\.ignition`.
- Running the Designer Launcher as an administrator.
- Connecting manually using `http://localhost:8088` and `http://127.0.0.1:8088`.

But the problem persists. Any advice on how to resolve this?

Thank you!

What is the error in the Details?  
Is your Ignition Service running?

The output from `C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\ignition\logs\wrapper.log` (or wherever you installed it to) might be helpful here too.
