Hi Vinoth,

I’m also facing the same issue when trying to start Appium Server(Appium Desktop client installed), with nodeconfig file for selenium grid.

Were you able to resolve your issue?

My node.js command

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\appium_desktop\resources\app\node_modules\appium\lib\appium.js
–nodeconfig C:\Users\username\Documents\nodeConfig7.json
–address 127.0.0.1
–port 4723
–bootstrapPort 4725

Thanks,
Umai
