Sorry I would like to open a client on your PC as if I were a cell phone [https://192.168.1.1:8080/main/system/mobile](https://192.168.1.1:8080/main/system/mobile) and up to here no problem.  
I would then create a button that allows me to open a client how can i do it?  
The “system.util.retarget” instruction does not work

Thank you

I apologize but I am new to the Forum.  
I would like to know if there is a function or script via a button from a Mobile Client project to start a traditionally developed PC project.

Thank you

A mobile client on a computer works in a browser environment. Those environments are (for privacy and safety reasons) sandboxed from the OS.

So you probably won’t be able to instruct the OS outside that sandbox.

The only possibility I see is mimicking the Ignition “Launch” button of the Ignition webpage: letting the client download a separate jnlp file.
