Hey I managed to overcome this step by adding inbound rule in windows defender firewall, for the remote port on remote server.

Here’s my ticket now I’m stuck cuz katalon is still taking an older Java version while running test cases.

Desktop Spy object doesn't open in native web recorder mode

Are the client and the remote machine in the same network? Can you ping the 10.x.x.x (remote machine) from your machine? The application must install on the remote machine. The application file path points the file path on the remote machine.

Let me know if it works for you. happy to help.
