Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/55

II start the program on a PC the server and on the other the client, the connection seems to be successful but remains on: "Barrier is starting". The association between the devices is detected, but beyond the association you can not do anything else. In the log this appears in random:

[2018-05-30T13: 26: 23] ERROR: ipc connection error, code = 19
[2018-05-30T13: 26: 23] ERROR: ipc connection error, connection refused

I due pc hanno entrambi Windows 10 aggiornato all'ultima versione mentre barrier è l'ultima versione(2.1.0)

Almost similar thing happening between a Windows server and macOS client. See #53.

I got this error, when the barrier service was not running on windows and was somehow not automatically starting. That's why the IPC (inter process communication) was not working.

The error: failed to get desktop path, no drop target available, error=2
is not fatal, have this one as well and everything works fine.
The other trouble I had, was the windows firewall, I basically added all execution files in the barrier
folder to the allowed applications and it worked.

Hi @massimo0315 -

Like @KaNe23 said, this error is due to the barrierd service not running. From your Services window (start, run, "services.msc") right-click the Barrier service and left-click Start from the popup menu. To save yourself grief in the future you could change the property "Startup type" to "Automatic" for the Barrier service by double-clicking on the Barrier line, making that change in the drop-down box, and clicking the OK button.

I would be interested to know why the service wasn't started automatically? Did you build barrier from source or use an installer? Anything else you could share about why the service didn't start?

Closing for now. Please reopen if you feel the issue hasn't been resolved. Thanks.

I have the same issue on Windows 10 Pro x64, connecting to macOS 10.14.3.

With the Mac as the server, I can share the Mac's keyboard and mouse with the Win10 laptop, but I'm trying to share the Win10 laptop's mouse and keyboard, and that isn't working.

(edit) Just wanted to say that this wasn't a reply to you, stevesobol, but rather showing that it isn't necessarily that the service isn't started. Im pretty sure whats happening is that the service itself breaks, and requires reinstallation.

Yeah, I should have commented again when I got it working. Sorry (and thanks for the advice).

That wasn't my problem. There are three or four binaries - and I whitelisted the wrong one in Windows Firewall.

barriers.exe whas what I needed to whitelist.

firewall

dont know if anybody has solved this but i had a nightmare of night to solve it the way i made it work was by going to settings on the barrier server interface and clicking it then going to the networking part in the ip address change this to the exact address given by the barrier server app exit settings and reload or restart barrier do this for every network you use and viola your problems shoul be solved it took me all night to crack this i use my home network and my mobile hotspot network now i know i have to change the ip in the app i should be all good :)

Running the Server on Win 10 Starts fine, Client on Win 10 will not start getting this error. Just installed today, manually allowed all barrier exe files through firewall and the barrier service will not start. The path links to barrierd but im getting a 193: 0xc1 error which means its not connecting through for some reason.

I had the same issue but solved it.
https://bobcares.com/blog/error-193-0xc1-service-fails-to-start/
In my case, my system drive (C:) had a file (not a folder) named "Program". When I removed this file from the system drive, I could start the barrier service.
