Can you try this?

This also solved the same issue for me. The end user's question is "how does that happen?".

I can't answer that. Can you @Kevin.Herron?

Cheers!

I had the same issue.....solution was to follow Kevin's advice and delete the following files

C:\Users\some\_name.ignition\cache\resources\runtimes\11.0.6\lib\security\cacerts

C:\Users\some\_name.ignition\cache\resources\runtimes\11.0.6\lib\security\cacerts.bak

where "some\_name" is your unique username that is running the Ignition app

Question: I haven't seen this issue before - just random occurrence or a serious issue?

It's a somewhat random occurrence that only seems to happen on Windows. Something to do with file copying or moving when unpacking a zip file... not sure.

I think later versions added some changes to try and address this.

Cool - thanks for your help on this Kevin. I've never seen this before - just want to avoid any downtime.
