The "Launch remote photon" is trying to start a new photon session on
your target. Perhaps when you run Phindows yourself you are connecting
to an existing photon session? (In the command line options this is -n)

There are quite a few more binaries and scripts required on a target to
remotely launch a new photon session, whereas connecting to an existing
one is more straightforward.

Subject: Remote photon vs Phindows?

When I run the "Phindows" shortcut installed with the IDE 4.6, it
successfully connects to my target.

But right click- Launch remote photon on the target in the IDE won't
connect.
It opens a white terminal window with some commands, hangs a while and
says "Phindows - Error-unable to start photon on host".

Does it run a different Phindows? or what can be wrong with it?

/S.
