Subject: Designer fails to load - does nothing obvious
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Domino Designer on Eclipse (DDE)
Technical Area: Functionality
Platform: Windows XP client
Release: 8.5
Reproducible: Always

- I just installed R8 client on a system that already has R8 server. The client part works fine as frog hair, but when I try to load Designer, either by right-click on a workspace icon or using its icon, the drive "scratches" for a bit and then it's quiet. No Designer. No processes that appear to be Designer or related to Designer.
- I do get a dialog from Zonealarm saying "checkpid.exe" is attempting to access the framework or some such, which I allow.
- If I do this dog and pony show while a bona-fide process tool is open (not task manager), I sometimes *VERY* briefly see something pop in, then right back out. It's so short I only see the fact it was there, not what it was, and it's not consistent about appearing at all. I suspect it's loading and unloading this process every time, but it's such a tiny fraction of a second that the tool generally doesn't show it.
- I've run a dozen forum searches relating to Designer not launching, and an R8 Client & Server on the same box, to no avail.
- I'm assuming this is "an unsupported configuration", but I'd like to hear it's resolvable.
- Thanks for your time...
