Answer / Solution: 

This is usually manifested because the console start window was closed before it completed and indicated that the console was started on port 50080. Because of this some files were not extracted successfully.

Delete the sub folders of C:\Users\[kapow user\AppData\Local\Kapow\[release]\Temp and run the "Start Management Console" application again. Allow it to complete.
