Cause

For some security restrictions, sometimes it is not possible to launch the ALM application from the server of the ALM Platform.

Fix

It looks like OTAClient.dll is not registered from some reason.
To workaround this, go to the PC Server machine, open ALM add-in page and download and install ALMConnectivity Add-in.This will force registering that dll.
