Any ideas why I can launch a project from my laptop and it work perfectly, but once I launch it from a client, I get a display not found type error? I have tried launching other projects (Perspective and Vision) from this client location without any issues but this one fails repeatedly.

I don't recall ever seeing such an error. Are you sure it is coming from Ignition?

(In any case, you will need to share a great deal more information about your problem for there to be any hope of us helping.)

I assumed you would need more info. But not knowing what you'd need, I didn't add anything. What would you like to know?

Do you have any kind of `system.gui.openDesktop` type scripts?

Start with the error message. Screenshot, and if there's an option for a complete text format error report, post it here as "preformatted text".

That awkward moment when you try launching a Vision project and from Perspective.  
Thanks for the replies though!  
I'll let myself out...

This should be possible in v8.3 using deep linking (custom URL schemes installed by Vision's Client Launcher and Perspective Workstation) as long as the VCL is installed.
