ERROR: Failed to Connect IE

[Ken]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting the exception "ERROR: Failed to Connect IE" in
explorerManager.Connect.

I'm not sure what caused this error; I was able to make SWEA work
before, and then all of a sudden, I now encounter this error. I tried
it on a different computer but still encounters this error. I tried it
in v2.0.6.1 (latest version at the time of writing) and also in
v2.0.3.1, but the error is still there.

Any ideas? Here's the exception details. Thanks in advance.

SWExplorerAutomation.Client.SWException was unhandled

Which operating system and IE version do you use? 
 
Also check that versions of SWExplorerAutomationClient.dll and SWExplorerAutomation.dll matches.
