Error on GCP Initial Startup

[Evan Shea]

Hi there,

I have downloaded Global Personal Connect Personal (GCP) after setting up my allocation in Chinook browser. After downloading, I (apparently) successfully connected by Globus ID to the GCP app on setup, however whenever I go to open my GCP app I get this error:

Has anyone had this issue before?

Appreciate any help!

Evan,

GCP launches itself after successful install - so yes, it is likely already there and you do not need to re-launch it. Normally it quietly runs in the background and the only indication is a little "g" icon in the notification bar:

(see also subitem 1.8 in the GCP-Win installation guide)

If you right-click on the icon, you'll see a menu with a few options and settings.  

But the key point is that GCP is intentionally unobtrusive - its purpose is to make your computer a bona fide Globus endpoint, so that you could now access ist files from anywhere (e.g. try "Web: Transfer Files" item from the right-click menu).
