Prompt to install something when trying to access it from SDK

Hello,

 

I am a DEV from V-Technologies (StarShip). Our customer who is going to on board meets a problem. When they try to access QBE from our product (using SDK), it will prompt a window like this, seems to installed something but failed:

 

and here is the detailed description from our support:

 

Current State: Whenever a user logs into starship from any location the popup comes on the server and prevents starship from returning any records until the cancel is clicked on the error(typically has be done twice as the error will pop up again after the first time). Once the error is dismissed then the user can connect and continue with shipping. Users are connecting to starship online from local computers but the source connector is on the server.

 

Is there something wrong the installation? Could you give me some advice to research this?

 

Thank you in advance!
