To stop a listening viewer, run this command:

Code: Select all

taskkill /IM vncviewer.exe

So you run the exact same command again? This is obviously causing the said error, as the running viewer already listening on 5518.

However, if you really start the viewer and have it listening on another port (e.g. vncviewer.exe -listen 5528), this should be no error return, and both sessions can be running at the same time w/o problem.
