[vpn-help] Unable to install 2.1.7 - driver errors.

[Christina Abbascia]

So. I found this post http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/htdig/vpn-help/2008-May/000702.html  

Removed the hidden network card
Deleted "virtualnet.sys" or "vfilter.sys" under the WINDOWS>\system32\drivers directory.
Unregistered shrew iked service
Ran the uninstall routine
Rebooted

Reinstalled. No difference :( Same errors.

However it gave me plenty of clues on how to fix and I finally fixed it by manually installing the protocol filter on the network adaptor  (wireless) under network connection properties, install, then service Shrewsoft Filter - point it to c:\program files\shrewsoft\VPN Client\drivers.  Current version is 2.2.0.3 (also in system32)

More on my config:  This is a 32-bit system that had installed at some point Checkpoint VPN, Netscreen Remote and 2 different versions of Shrew on it. Most likely my issue was related to those old installs?

I am now back to my original issue however - unable to connect to multiple VPN's simultaneously - even with 2.1.7.

Any more ideas?

Christina

That's great news, so I will have to upgrade to 2.1.7.  

However, this is my driver issue: 

I have windows XP SP3.  During "Shrew Soft Driver Configuration" - "Preinstalling Driver Package" I receive this error:

DRIVER INSTALL ERROR - Access was denied.  Please make sure you have administrative privileges.

Yes, I do have administrative privileges.

It happens when it is executing "drvcfg.exe -pre c:\..." (can't see the rest)

I then get a repeat of the same error.  I click OK (again). Now it's executing "netfcg.exe -add service pflt c:\..." (can't see the rest)

ERROR- Error 0X80070005: Couldn't install the network component.  Possible cause: Access is denied.

The installation then completes and if I try to connect to anything I receive "network unavailable"

Just to confirm this, I never got simultaneous connections working 
before 2.1.7, but now everything is working perfectly! I've been around 
Shrew for a while, and 2.1.7 is really a very good release! No issues 
whatsoever for me :) Thank you very much for all your effort!

Stian
