I followed your instructions, and when I ran istioctl, everything went fine. I downloaded istio-1.22.1-win.zip. When I ran istioctl version, I got this: unable to retrieve Pods: Get "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/namespaces/istio-system/pods?fieldSelector=status.phase%3DRunning&labelSelector=app%3Distiod": dial tcp [::1]:8080: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
What does this mean? how do I fix this?
