IWR6843AOPEVM: Unable to connect in the mmWave Industrial Visualizer in order to do labs

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH,

I have successfully connected my device both to UniFlash and to the mmWave Demo Visualizer, and both work fine. The next step was trying to run the labs, so I open the mmWave_Industrial_Visualizer.exe, write down the COM ports, and then click connect. However, all I get is a message that says 'Unable to connect' as seen below.

I have the IWR6843AOPEVM set to Functional Mode when trying this. Here is also a picture of the COM ports, could I be writing them incorrectly?

Forgot to add, the error I get is the following:

Could not open port 'COM4': PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied', None, 5)

I get this even when running the Visualizer.exe file as Administrator, any ideas to what could be the problem?


PS FIXED: I closed the UniFlash app and the mmWave Demo Visualizer, it seems this is the cause of the error, and it is now connected!
