I open Ignition Designer and only see the Vision module, why? I can only use Perspective in Trial mode, but it should still appear there.

When I start Ignition Designer, it displays this message. Is it related to my issue?

Thank you for your help!

Try deleting this folder and launching the Designer again:

```python
C:\Users[USER].ignition\cache\resources\jxbrowser

```

if that doesn't work then probably Windows Defender or some other antivirus is interfering:

```python
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users[USER].ignition\cache\resources\jxbrowser\7.12.1\7zr.exe": CreateProcess error=5, A hozz�f�r�s megtagadva

Yeah the Windows Defender is disabled this program!

Thanks!

Hi, Molnar. Please see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). Use the technique when posting code or error logs. Thanks.
