[vpn-help] Problem with Installing Shrew 2.1.6b4 on Win7 64bit

[Linwood Ferguson]

With regard to the trace utility, right click on it and "Run as
administrator", as it has to be able to control services.

 

I've used Beta 3 on Windows 7 64bit without any problems moreso than
2.1.5.

Howdy,

After installing the Shrew Soft VPN Client 2.1.6 beta 4 onto my PC
running Windows 7 64-bit, I restarted, and imported a .pcf file from a
different computer with a cisco client set up. This went fine, but 

Problem:
when I tried to connect it never got past "Failed to attach to key
daemon."  Even after multiple restarts. Also, I tried to run the trace
utility (as administrator) and the buttons stayed grayed out.  

Temporary Solution:
I uninstalled this client and installed the 2.1.5 client and now
everything works well- couple hours now and VPN connection working.  I
still have not tried to use the trace program on this install because
there has been no need.  

Possible Cause:
One thing I did notice that was different between the install process
was 2.1.5 installed (I believe) 2 drivers, and I do not recall the 2.1.6
beta 4 installer installing any.  Let me know how I can help more!

Jacob
