[vpn-help] XP64 Virtual Adapter will not install

[Jeff Haferman]

2.1-5 was the first that I installed; however I previoulsy had Cisco Anyconnect (I believe version 2.2) and they upgraded to 2.4 recently, which does not install either - interestingly the problem occurred when they try to install their virtual adapter.  

It appears both Shrewsoft and Cisco VPN clients have been removed, but there could be remnants lying around.

Hi Jeff,

Did you install a previous version of the Shrew Soft client on the host 
or was 2.1.5 the first version you used?
