Hi, I am new to Katalon studio ad I am trying to run it for the first time. Whenever I click on Record web button, after giving url, I am getting Invalid Argument: Socket error. I have used it on one more system and in that case I have kept my Katalon directory on D drive and it worked. But, the system on which I actually want to run Katalon is only having C drive or network drive. No more drives available.

Please solve it asap, its urgent for me.

thanks

Can you show me your host file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\host? Is there any invalid information there?
