Hi  
Running Windows 10  
I have just downloaded Maker version and installed per instructions  
I then downloaded Designer Launcher  
When I try to launch the Designer I get Launch Error. It is trying to find file jvm.cfg in …|Ignition\cache\resources\runtimes\11.0.9\lib  
This directory is empty

Should the installer install this file?  
Should I install it? How?

Help appreciated.

Hmm, wonder if this is related to [Ignition Designer Laucher errors when trying to open a launcher](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-designer-laucher-errors-when-trying-to-open-a-launcher/43799/4)

I’ll try to ping @jcoffman again tomorrow and see if he knows what’s going on.

I know in the past people have had issues with the runtime unzipping itself on Windows, especially if an AV or something is interfering.

Try deleting the cached runtime at `C:\Users\Ross Dye\.ignition\cache\resources\runtimes\11.0.9`. A relaunch should download it

Hi,  
I just installed version 8.1.5 and I am getting the same error even after deleting the cache. Any thing else I can check. I get a different error after I delete the files on the runtimes see image below
