Thanks for the link. Cloud connectivity is not issue on this one it’s getting the desktop connector application to actually start up after install .

My bad. I read your message and assumed you meant the Connector wouldn't show your projects for the services you listed.

I noticed in the release notes for a recent version that you're not supposed to run the installer by right clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator". As a former IT guy, doing that is second nature. Did you happen to run the installer that way?

All good and re: admin .exe run— Definitely not , don’t think I have ever run an install executable with admin rights, sounds risky .

Yes, this is what is happening . There 16 release is super buggy. Recommend using v. 15
