I'm sure the manual removal process would have taken care of me.. Coincidentally, I just wiped my Win7 installation yesterday and reinstalled it. First thing on my list was the Shrew VPN client, and it worked like a champ.

Hi Gabriel,
Are you sure you tried to install a 2.1.5 RC version of the software?
Yes, the installation program need to be improved more. Its not very
smart about error conditions. I posted some information regarding a
manual removal process some time ago. Maybe it has some information that
will help you ...
