[Vpn-help] Win7 64-bit error at install: Error 0x8004a029: Couldn't install the network component

[Doug Mayer]

Matt,

It appears that's what was happening. I found when I did a fresh install of 2.1.5 RC4 onto a Win7 x64 virtual machine that had never seen the VPN client before, it went in without any issues. I'll do some tweaking and see if I can't get it working with those suggestions and avoid a fresh OS install.

Thanks,
Doug

There are a few of those steps during installation and only this one fails.
>> I tried the 2.2.0-alpha9 just to see if that would work, and it fails on adding the vflt service through the vfilter.inf you mention with the same error. It preinstalls driver package fine, then fails on the network component, whether I use the 2.2 development branch or 2.1.5 RC4.
