The IT support of my company told me that it is basically looking for a certificate to install it, but for that it has to access through the port that is highlighted. The problem is that apparently this port is “exposed”, meaning, there is no way the firewall is going to allow it (not even with the antivirus off) as only secured ports are allowed.
My question is, anybody found a way to fix this???
We managed to solve this problem. I’ve been approached by different people, so I thought I should share what worked for us.
When windows 10 upgraded we had to reinstall Open Foam from scratch.
Then the problem is that to do so, OF needs to download certain files from the specific port that I highlighted in my original post. The problem is that this port is considered “public”, meaning that no antivirus or firewall will allow any download from it.
For the people that work from home it is as easy as reinstall with the antivirus and firewall disabled. For people working in a company, like me, it is more tricky, as they cannot be disabled. We solved it by sending me home to work remotely, where I was not protected by the firewall of my company, as I was using the internet of my home. Then I could disable them and reinstall (to be completely honest the IT of my company did that working remotely in my machine, this became a big problem around here)
instead of the “v1706” put the number of your version without the “v”, as in windows 10 the folder doesn’t have that V
Follow the installation as in the tutorial and then in Oracle VM Virtual Box
Set VM to use Linux / Ubuntu (x64), if it doesn’t work try Linux / Linux (x64)
And that’s it. With this and updating butterfly everything run again
