    Hello Maxi,

    Not sure I understand right. -noOpenGLCheck is a flag command to run the Omnis software when there is issue with OpenGL version.

    If you are able to run and get the gui without the flag then it is well good. We do not usually advice to use the flag unless there is a OpenGl issue. Please follow the steps if GUI shows OpenGl version error. 

    1. Open Command prompt.

    2. Go to the installation folder of omnis5.2

    3. run the following omnisClient.bat -noOpenGLCheck

    4. This will avoid looking for OpenGL and the GUI should be open.

    Do let me know if you still have issue.

    Thanks 

    Judy

    Hi Maxi,

     In the command prompt go to the location  of your omnis5.2 installation and just run the command mentioned. I did a local installation on myside for you to refer to. The location of your installation will be different. 

    You can also go to the location of your installation from File explorer and on the location bar on top type " cmd " to open the command prompt form that location and then run the mentioned command.

    Thanks & Regards

    Judy
