I recently downloaded the current version of KNIME and extracted it to an appropriate directory. Upon executing KNIME I received the following error.
"The Knime executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library."
The previous version of KNIME runs fine. There appears to be a difference in the installation directories

I created the desktop file and updated the ini file, but everything else comes from the 3.4.0 version of KNIME. Updates to 3.4.0 have been successfully applied via the on-line update tool; so, the version in the old directory(working) is at release level v3.4.1.v201709070950. The newly installed version will not start.
The questions are:
- Are there files actually missing from the version 3.4.1 download?
- What is causing the error - "The Knime executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library. (I believe I have tracked this down"
- Have the installation instructions significantly changed?
There definitely appears to be a difference between the 2 versions.
Thanks in advance for any insights into this.
