This issue occurs due to an unclean uninstallation of the VMware Horizon Composer services, which might have left behind registry entries that bind the certificate to a TCP port and does not allow another certificate to be bound to that port.To resolve this issue, remove the VMware Horizon Composer certificates from the personal keychain following the steps below: Note: This procedure modifies the Windows registry. Before making any registry modifications, ensure that you have a current and valid backup of the registry and the virtual machine. For more information on backing up and restoring the registry, see the Microsoft article 136393. Run the Horizon Composer installer with the Run as Administrator option to verify whether the installer will complete installation without the errors noted in the Symptoms section. If the installation process failed with the same error codes as before, continue with the next step.Click Start > Run, type regedit, and click OK. The Registry Editor window opens. Navigate to these keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > ControlSet001 > Services > HTTP > Parameters > SslBindingInfoHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > ControlSet002 > Services > HTTP > Parameters > SslBindingInfoHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > ControlSet003 > Services > HTTP > Parameters > SslBindingInfoHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > HTTP > Parameters > SslBindingInfo Note: All of these registry keys may not exist. Some keys may have ControlSet002 and others may have ControlSet003. Look for 0.0.0.0:18443 or the port you are trying to use.If the port exists, remove its entry in all the corresponding registry locations. This unbinds the port from the SSL certificate.Open the Certificates Microsoft Management console and load the snap-in for Certificates for the Local machine. For more information, see the Microsoft MSDN article How to: Horizon Certificates with the MMC Snap-in. Note: The preceding link was correct as of October 16, 2013. If you find the link is broken, provide feedback and a VMware employee will update the link. Remove the VMware Horizon Composer certificates from the personal keychain.Reboot the computer.
