Internally, RFA creates TCP pipe (socket pair) on the
loopback address for inter-process communication among RFA threads. If it is
unable to create this TCP pipe, it will throw this exception.

I suggest running a test program which creates a socket pair
on the same machine. The test program is socketpair.zip. This program requires
ws2_32.lib. If this program is also unable to create a socket pair, the problem
could be from a security application running on the machine.

Please verify if there is any security application running on
the machine which can block the creation of loopback connection on TCP port
9001. This TCP port is used by RFA C++ for the socket pair connection.

I have tried the test program. It failed with 10013 (permission denied). After investigating, the issue was caused by McAfee settings. After rolling back the settings, the RFA application can create a socket pair and run properly.
