Description

@dotps1

this is super annoying everytime I try to use New-Flancy

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
At C:\Users\dotps1\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\flancy\flancy.psm1:450 char:9

    so, this seemed to be an issue with the example of port 8001, once I changed that, it works. Is there some way to maybe test for the port and if its use, throw a useful error, because a file in use error was not helpful lol.

    @toenuff looks like you have this fixed in the devel branch? I'm getting this for the current error:

    Failed to listen on prefix 'http://localhost:8001/' because it conflicts with an existing registration on the machine.
