Error opening IKE port 4500 on Interface outside

Brand new Cisco ASA 5506-X. Ran the VPN wizard to enable Remote Access VPN with the Cisco VPN Client. At the end, all is "OK" except an error:

Error: crypto ikev1 enable outside
failed to open "udp/localized/2/4500"
Error: Error opening IKE port 4500 on Interface outside


Can someone help me with this? Provide a fix? No CLI experience here, but from looking around online I have seen suggestions to issue commands:

clear xlate
crypto ikev1 enable outside


When I run "crypto ikev1 enable outside, I get:

Result of the command: "crypto ikev1 enable outside"

ERROR: Failed to open "udp/localized/2/4500"
ERROR: Error opening IKE port 4500 on Interface outside


If I run the command "sh xlate", I do see a reference in there as:

UDP PAT from any:10.1.10.175/4500 to outside:x.x.x.x/4500 flags ri idle 207:27:08 timeout 0:00:30

...yet, I don't see any references of port 4500 in the NAT rules or Access rules section. Where can I make sure 4500 is available for the VPN?

When I run the "clear xlate" command and then "sh xlate" again, the 4500 reference is back in there, so I know the VPN wizard will still fail.
