The peer config failed message tends to happen when a version of the 
client program ( ipsecc.exe ) is talking to mismatched version of the 
IKE daemon ( iked.exe ). For example ( ver 2.1.7 vs ver 2.2.x ). Did you 
happen to copy ipsecc.exe somewhere instead of making a shortcut? Or 
have you searched your system to make sure there are not multiple copies 
of programs installed somehow in different locations?
