Hi,
I just got this error on a non-fresh install when my Mac was waking from sleep and I had a couple of different versions of Tableau Desktop open. I couldn't open any instance of Tableau Desktop nor Tableau Prep Builder.
After closing all the instances of Tableau I looked at Activity Monitor and it turned out that there was Tableau & 3 tabprotosrv processes still running, I Force Quit the Tableau one (and that quit the tabprotosrv's) and now Tableau restarts just fine without having to go through the KB instructions.
