Upgraded to 7.1.3 caused an Active X problem

Ignition
1

Upgraded to 7.1.3 and when I launch the designer I get " Error Loadling hook class “com.inductiveautomation.vision.activeXDesignerHook” for module “ActiveX”

Once designer loads, there is no Active X componet in the tabs.

I stopped and restarted the gateway, but that did not help.

Here is the error.

com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.modules.ModuleLoadException: Error loading hook class “com.inductiveautomation.vision.activex.ActiveXDesignerHook” for module “ActiveX”.

Well, I looked further and found that the Active X Module did not get updated during the 7.1.3 install to the updated 2.0.3 (b5368). So I downloaded the Active X Module and installed it seperately… and that seemed to fix my problem.

Yes, that is true, the ActiveX module is not included by default in the installer.

Thanks Carl,

I noticed it again when I updated another box I am working on. I figured that to be the case.
