Why do I get the message:

 

The following potential problems were detected in this workspace:

Transformers are used that are not installed: 'AttributeExposer (version 2)', 'Clipper (version 16)'

 

The install/machine that created this workbench, and the install/machine I’m trying to run it on are different, is it a version mismatch?  How can I fix it?

If you open the workbench on the machine the workbench is created you can see the settings of the Transformers that are removed. Then you can open the workbench on the machine you want to edit and add the missing transformers and set the settings the same way.

Or install the same version on the machine you are gonna edit the workbench.

In general build your workbenches with the FME version that is the oldest around.

Yeah that is a version mismatch. I would add that if you do build your workspaces in the older versions, when it is opened on the machine that has the newer version there will be an option to update the transformers. If they are updated, then you will be back to where you started.
