This issue happens when a service is already listening on port 443 and you try to install the Internet Gateway software. The software tries to bind to port 443 using but fails because IIS (or another service) is already bound to that port.
You can use the program TCPView which is available as part of the Windows Sysinternals Suite to find out which programs are listening on port 443:
NOTE: In multiple cases where IIS has been installed and setup to be bound to port 443 before setting up the Internet Gateway software, then simply removing the binding for https in IIS has resolved this issue.
