Client not starting

having a client that isn’t wanting to start this morning.

The client displays a popup that looks like this:

The last error in the launch error text file is:

Launch failed on step "StartupStep" with error:

Any ideas? This is a kiosk type of client, so at the moment no rush.

What’s the host OS? It’s weird to see port exhaustion on an outgoing connection; maybe run lsof or netstat (depending on your OS) to see what applications are bound to which ports and which ports are available?

Windoze 10.

What port am I looking for? 8088?

Well, that’s the thing that’s so weird. We’re just making an outbound HTTP request to the gateway address to download some Vision-related launch settings. It shouldn’t be tied to a specific port on the client side.

I have the same problem.
Did you find the solution

I honestly don't remember what we did to fix it. Sorry.
