How Can I Release a Port?

[Dennisgw]

Hello,
I have a port that remains allocated (Port 5150) after removal on some software and now thta I wish to install an upgrade it tells me that the port is already allocated.
Is it possible to release it so I can install the upgrade tot he same port?

have you checked the Windows firewall settings?

The port is probably in use somehow, or thinks it's in use...

Also:

Check your Internet Security firewall.
