I did a server upgrade and along with it ignition upgraded in the process. This caused the rasberry pi machines that we use to fail loading the vision client. The error were receiving is Error Launching applicaiton: ValidationException: JPMS module opens/export check failed! check your --add-opens and --add-exports clauses Anyone have any knowledge on the fix for this been trying to troubles shoot it for a day now and still cant wrap my head around it. ---

Inside the `legacyClient.sh` script there is probably a line like this: ```auto JAVA_ARGS="" ``` try changing that to: ```auto JAVA_ARGS="--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.event=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.tree=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.synth=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.tree=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.apple.eawt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.image=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.shell=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing.plaf.synth=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing.table=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.print=ALL-UNNAMED" ``` no idea if this will work. The unsupported 32-bit client scenario became a little more unsupported with the JDK 17 upgrade. ---

Thank you that fixed the issue. we are running 64-bit ARM for the pi's however, dont know if that matters in this situation. ---

Shouldn't matter, I'd expect this to work on 32-bit ARM as well if anybody from the future finds this. Just need to have the right JDK installed. ---

This did work, I found it easiest to add it to a launch arguments file and call it in the launch bat file in a 32bit windows installation rather than modifying the legacyClient.sh script. The launch bat file: `C:\Users\USER\Desktop\legacyClient.bat http://IP.AD.DR.ESS:8088 C PROJ_NAME F C:\Users\USER\Desktop\LaunchArgsIgnition.txt` The entire contents of LaunchArgsIgnition.txt: ```auto --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.event=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.tree=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.synth=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.tree=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.apple.eawt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.image=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.shell=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing.plaf.synth=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing.table=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports=java.desktop/sun.print=ALL-UNNAMED ``` I have a Java 17 jdk installed on the clients as well. Just updated to Ignition 8.1.36 from 8.1.24. ---
