Cause

During the install the Desktop Client may have encountered some errors.  It is also possible that the JRE that comes with the client was changed.  
 

Resolution

If any manual changes were done to the JRE, then it is recommended to revert them back to original.
If the problem persists, then re-install the client.  The JRE or jars that come with the client must not be changed.  The Desktop Client comes packaged with everything it needs, and everything is kept within the install directory.
