Hi, I am getting an error when running the client executable from the startup folder in windows. Attached is the error I’m getting. Looks as though the gateway is not up and running by the time I want to run the client. Is there a better way to run the client from boot, while not receiving this error? i.e. waiting for the gateway to start Thanks Cam ---

Batch file and supporting programs. Extract to c:\ At the top of the Ignition.bat file, there are three lines (these are from an existing install): `SET host=192.168.140.127 SET port=8088 SET project=PM_P552` Change as needed. Put shortcut into Startup Folder. ---

Also, how are you trying to launch the client? Are you using the native client launcher exe?
