     If it's above 1023, you should reserve the port using:

And presumably you could check the exitcode of the netsh command, and if
it fail increment the port number and retry, finally setting the
environment variable to the actual port number?

y'mean some4thing like this?

 @echo off
 setlocal
 
 set "targetPort=55555"
 set "maxRetries=10"
 set "retryCount=0"
 
 :reservePort

 netsh int ipv4 add excludedportrange protocol=tcp startport=%targetPort% numberofports=1

     set /a retryCount+=1
     if %retryCount% lss %maxRetries% (
         set /a targetPort+=1
         echo Retrying with port %targetPort%...
         goto :reservePort
     ) else (
         echo Failed to reserve a port after %maxRetries% retries. Exiting.
         goto :end
