Hi.
I have a Ignition Gateway Version: 7.9.9 S.O. Windows Server 2008 | x86 32 bits
I install the web browser module (WebBrowser01) and install the licence for web browser module (WebBrowser02) but into the component palette (WebBrowser03) of the designer dont show the web browser component i search into each component groups (Input, buttons, display… Misc, Instruments, etc.).
Thanks
Check the designer console on startup - are there any exceptions being logged about being unable to load the module? Are you sure your designer is pointed at the correct gateway with the web browser module?

Looks pretty clear:
You need at least Server 2008 R2.
Yes!!!. I think my client dont want to migrate the server version, bad for me, thanks.
You should be able to run the designer on a different PC…
If you really can’t use a different designer, you can roll back to Web Browser Module to, I think, the 7.9.3 version, which uses an older version of the web browser library and should still work on your system.
pturmel: But, the client could see the web browser control?, becouse i have the gateway in the same server with the windows 2008 version 6.0
thanks
Yes, as long as the client PC was on a supported OS. Just like the suggestion for the designer. The Ignition gateway doesn’t have to support that component because the gateway doesn’t run any GUI itself.
