Hi all - I am writing this in a hope that it may help save someone else's hair from being pulled out. I have SSL explorer installed, it has been running fine for a month or so. I began having troubles getting the SSL explorer to start after a reboot. When I browsed to https://127.0.0.1 I would get an "unexpected error" as below. or a message saying "a web server is running on port 443". I installed, reinstalled. I even did a restore point on the computer. Still got the error "a web server other than SSL explorer is already running on port 443". When I ran the SSL install Wizard and chose which interface to bind to I also go the error " a web server other than SSL Explorer is already running on port 443" I ran this utility and it showed that Skype was binding to port 443 on reboot. I closed Skype it stopped port 0.0.0.0:443 listening I then checked the Services.msc SSL Explorer was stopped. I started the service and all was fine. Here is where to stop Skype listening to port 443. Hope this helps someone else.
