For those of you that do not get this to work, you might have to do some additional stuff before rebooting in step 7. At least I did.

I had to remove the ndis.sys file after installing the VPN client and before rebooting. Then when you reboot Win 7 will repair this file and you are prompted to reboot once again and now it will work.

/WW

I have tried many--many different ways to get the Cisco VPN client install on Windows 7--all resulting in BSOD (ndis.sys).  I have found the following procedure has worked 100% of the time on multiple hardware platforms (including VMware):

1.  Install Cisco DNEupdate.

2.  Reboot

3.  Take ownership and delete ndis.sys (in c:\windows\system32\drivers).

4.  Take ownership and delete ndis.sys.mui (in c:\windows\system32\drivers\en-us).

5.  Install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.04.0300.

6.  Reboot

7.  Windows 7 will repair itself (should take a few seconds) and automatically reboot.

8.  Cisco VPN Client should work without any other tweaks.

Hope this helps.

To further elaborate on steps 6 & 7;

6. Insert your Windows 7 install disc.

6a. Restart into the Windows 7 install when prompted otherwise the OS will go into error recovery.

7. Select your language, time & currency and click 'Next'.

7a. Click 'Repair your computer' at the bottom.

7b. Click 'Next >' to start the repairing the OS.

The Startup Repair wizard kicks in and works its magic. How long it will take to repair WILL vary.

Works with Windows 7 64-Bits?

The steps by JoshP and RandyM worked for me. Using the DVD for the Startup Repair seemed to be what finally did the trick.

Dans la suite des messages sur Windows Seven , j’ai évoqué précédemment le cas de McAfee VirusScan Enterprise

Thanks for these instructions. I was able to successfully install Cisco VPN 5.0.03.0560 on Windows 7 beta using RandyM and JoshP's detailed steps. Works like a charm

Have you tried OpenVPN? I just got through setting it up on my network.

It works really well. Setup can be a little hairy,

but I found a quickstart tutorial on the web and got everything squared away in about an hour.

It also has a lot of functionality (complexity) if you need to go down that road.

What do you mean with "take ownership". my problem is: how can i delete ndis.sys(.mui)? i don't have the rights for it, how can i get them?

greets

I was able to successfully install Cisco VPN 5.0.03.0560 on Windows 7 beta

Steps didn't work for me, as windows didn't restore the deleted files upon reboot. I had to restore them manually with an elevated command prompt (using a different windows partition) and copy the original files over from the windows sxs folder (find them with the command: [dir /s ndis.sys]) Reboot now works.

Thanks very much for this as it worked like a charm!

I was able to successfully install Cisco VPN 5.0.00.0340 on Windows 7 build 7057/  

Does these steps work on Vista 64-bit too? I'm trying to install Cisco VPN on this machine and running into the issues.

I can see that some fellows are having porblems (taking ownership). What is the cleanest way of doing it?

I was able to successfully install Cisco VPN 5.0.03.0560 on Windows 7 beta, but it runs way slower than the same VPN software installed on the same PC under Vista.  Any thoughts?

I got it working before on a simpler way, but I forgot. So I tried the steps here and I had to run Ubuntu LiveCD to save the install.

Anyway, I think the essence is as below:

- change the ndis.sys permission to Everyone or something wide open.

- make a backup somewhere else.

- install VPN client.

Does this work for 64 bit win7 also ? I tried the same steps that joshP mentioned in my 64bit windows 7 7068 build. The winFix & DNEupdate64bit isntalled fine, but the cisco vpnclient setup is erroring out saying that this version of setup does not support 64-bit.

The Cisco VPN client supports Windows 2000, XP and Vista (x86/32-bit only); Linux (Intel); Mac OS X 10.4; and Solaris UltraSparc (32 and 64-bit).

For x64 (64-bit) Windows support, you must utilize Cisco's next-generation Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client.

I have successfully installed Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0290 in Windows 7 RC Build 7100 following the next Steps:

1.  Install Cisco DNEupdate.

2.  Reboot

3. Modify properties of Cisco installer vpnclient_setup.exe to compatibility mode tab to Vista SP2

4.  Install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0290 as usually.

5.  Reboot

6. Cisco VPN Client Worked perfect without any other modification.

I supposed that Windows RC 7 Build 7100 has better compatibility support that the Beta and previous versions.

Chovija.!

Why using the Cisco stuff??? My company is using Cisco but i hate it. I was looking for an alternative and found the one and only VPN software. NCP engineering www.ncp-e.com/.../software.html has developed an IPSec VPN Client for Windwos XP, Vista, and Windows 7 32bit and 64bit. It works like a charme and the configuration is very easy(you can import the pcf file). So why use AnyConnect or things like that if you could have a client Suite with an integrated firewall etc. from NCP.

Cheers!

DR

Just wanted to confirm Chovija's solution was successful for me.  Uninstall your previous client first (if you upgraded to 7100) then follow the steps above.

After a couple failed attempts, I found the instruction here and got it installed.

However, when I tried to connect, I got an error:

Reason 442: Failed to enable Virtual Adapter

I found that the failed attempts had installed an adapter/connection.  I cleaned that up and everything worked perfect after that.  Here's what I did:

1. Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center

2. Click Change adapter settings (in left menu)

3. Delete or disable every extra 'Local Area Connection' there with 'Cisco Systems VPN Adapter' as description

4. On the remaining single connection for 'Cisco Systems VPN Adapter', you may need to repair the connection (right-click > Diagnose)

I was unable to delete the connection from there, only disable.  That worked, but then I really wanted to clean house and delete those extra connections.  I found them in the registry by searching for 'Cisco Systems VPN Adapter #' and deleted them.  Only the extra connections had the '#2', '#3', etc. so that '#' is important to finding/deleting the right ones.

I had upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I got the BSOD relating to ndis.sys when attempting to uninstall the client.

After the computer restarted, all my network adaptors stopped working.

I followed the instructions to delete ndis.sys and ndis.sys.mui, then uninstalled the Cisco VPN Client. Then installed it again, then rebooted, and everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for the info.

PS: Re taking ownership of files to delete them.. You need to right click on the file, select properties, then go to security. Use the "advanced" button at the very bottom. In the advanced window, choose the "Owner" tab. Then click on the "Edit" button. Choose either yourself, of a group you are in, then OK, and OK. Being owner of the file, you can then change the permissions of the file to give yourself full control over it. Then you can delete.

Pingback from  Matt Shelton » Installing the Cisco VPN Client on Windows 7

Using Windows 7100 build and tried Chovija's solution.  Worked perfectly to fix a failure to connect under 5.0.3...VPN version.  Thanks Chovija!

Hey all,

Remember that although this "works', it is NOT supported by Cisco or MS.  This should be taken into account before using this method in an enterprise environment.

Our organization has decided that this method is outside the scope of what we will want to support.

another NetAdmin

I can not install any version of Cisco vpnclient-win-msi-5.0.0xxx.exe on windows 7 buid 7100 64 bit. The error msg that I have is "Error 28011: Windows 64-bit is not support by Cisco System VPN Clietn 5.0.05.0290.".

I also tried to change the compatibility mode to Windows Vista (sp2) but the error message above won't give up!!

Any suggestion for Windows 7 64 bit?

Thank you very much.

I don't why people keep saying the installation of the Cisco VPN client works, has anyone actually tried to use it afterwards? no packets get tunneled at all. Builds 7100, 7127, 7137 & 7201. New installs from scratch - wipe the drive, install OS, install Citrix DNE Update as administrator, reboot, install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0290 as administrator, reboot, import .PCF file, double click on a connection, enter username & password, client connects, then nothing. can't ping hosts on secure network via IP, netbios, FQDN, can't connect to anything, no RDP, can't UNC, can't administer servers, statistics show packets getting discarded for any tunneled domains, traffic to the internet (i.e. non-tunneled traffic) works fine.

Successfully installed Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0280-k9 on Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 using Chovija's instructions above (Citrix DNE update, reboot, install VPN client in VistaSP2 compatibility mode). Worked without having to rename/repair drivers.

You can also try Shrewsofts VPN client. This is a free VPN client that can also be configured to use with Cisco VPN equipment. I use it to connect to a Cisco ASA-5505 (on 64-bit Windows Vista) and it works like a charm. Get it from www.shrewsoft.com/download

Perfect!

Remove old client, install latest DNE update, install client again

Job done!

Thanks

i have done most of the above but the vpn client refuses to install givig me an internal error 2738 or something like that... any ideas?!

What happens if you have a netbook with no ability to insert the Windows 7 install CD??

How can I work around this?

I can get it to install fine using the xp compatability mode. Once installed it connects but then i cannot access anything.

The installed client doesn't work for me either. Although the client connects I cannot reach any resources. Moreover, it drops my internet connection after a while.

I can concur the following worked with Windows 7 RTM:

1) Install DNE Update

2) Reboot

3) Install Cisco VPN client 5.0.03.0530 using compat. mode Windows XP SP3

4) Reboot

No fancy stuff with ndis.sys whatsoever. And yes, I did test it and RDP'd to a server. Works fine.

I'm one the lucky ones having Windows 7 Ultimate RTM. Cisco VPN client installed smoothly and so did Citrix XenApp. No need of Citrix DNE update.

So it seems that Microsoft has done the necessary for the final version of Windows 7.

The original instructions worked perfectly for me..  mainly since my requirement was to uninstall the existing program (it wasn't getting connected after I upgraded to Win7).

Now, I am able to connect to the network after the re-install. Thanks Brenton.

PS: The version of vpn client that I am using is 5.0.01.0600. Just wanted to tell that even this version (older) works on Windows 7.

Pingback from  How to (Successfully) Install Cisco VPN Client on Windows 7 | Stephen Lacy

I've fresh installed the free RC of Windows 7 (build 7100) and tried multiple versions of VPN Client (5.0.01.0600 to latest one 5.0.04.0300). With all the versions the setup finish and reboot without any issue.

Problem is that I cannot get it to connect, it just timeout reaching the VPN concentrator. Error message is 412 the remote peer is no longer responding. I've tried also creating ad hoc windows firewall rules disabling it at all and still have the same issue.

Googling the error return issues with the remote peer but anytime I'm able to connect from an XP pc so it is not the case.

I've also tried following the initial guide (deleting ndis.sys and installing Citrix DNE) with no luck.

Anyone hit this issue too? anyone solved it?

Thanks

shame on me... changing transport from UDP to TCP solved the issue!

For those running Windows 7 64-bit mode. Check this out: blog.vanefferenonline.nl/install-cisco-vpn-client-on-windows-7-64-bit

I uses the new Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 and i was been able to install VPN Client in it. Works great and is easy to do.

/Arjen

Very nice solution. Worked first time and can connect fine aterwards. Used W7 RC (7100) and Cisco client 5.0.02.0090.

Many thanks,

I guess there's no hope for installing in Windows 7 Professional 64bit (Final version)?

JoshP's steps work for me 100%. I am now able to connect to our corporate network. Very simple and clear instruction. Thanks.

Wow, I'm quite impressed! It worked perfectly with version 5.0.00.0340 for me. Many thanks!

Running windows 7 enterprise release.

After installing the DNE update, i just installed the latest version & it worked fine.

I followed the instructions for  64-bit as listed above, and yes the VPN client works...but ONLY WITHIN THE VIRTUAL MACHINE.  

How useful is that?!?

It doesn't seem as though there's a solution for us 64-bit users.

I am able to install the Cisco client on Win 7 Ultimate RTM (32-bit) and it works -- however, I am unable to reach any ip addresses outside of my corp intranet.  It seems my routing table is corrupted.  Any ideas?

The Cisco anyconnect 64bit solution ONLY works for ASA apliances. For the PIX ones, one should use the windows xp mode with the cisco vpn client or the Shrewsofts/NCP VPN clients.

I was able to install 5.0.04.0300 successfully on my win7 RTM VirtualBox  guest OS w/o needing to install the Citrix DNE update.

Thanks, everything works like written in the first instructions.

I've had a similar experience and have a fully screenshotted install if the Cisco VPN Client using Windows XP Mode

informationtautology.blogspot.com/.../ths-article-was-written-when-i-tried-to.html

I didn't want to use VM so I tried NCP. It worked great but at $144 for license it was more than I wanted to pay. So I kept looking and found open source client - Shrew. They have 64-bit RC version for Windows 7. Install took less than a min and it imported cisco .pcf config file. I was on the network in couple min! Thanks for saving me $144, I'll donate 10% of that to the Shrew crew.

I have installed the Shrew version, ran the Cisco VPN client in XP mode and neither one works.  It installs and connects perfectly, but will not access any IP's on my work network.  I have just about give up on this.  Running Win 7 Enterprise x64.

Thanks to JoshP. Following his steps I've upgraded to VPN Client 5.0.04.0300 on my IBMX60 running Windows 7. Very smooth, no issues whatsoever.

Were can I download Cisco VPN client 5.0.03.0530????

The Shrew RC-4 works perfectly on 64bit win 7.

Guys,

i got the following error: "Error 28011: Windows 64-bit is not support by Cisco System ... "

but once it failed i tried Cisco VPN Client 5.0.06.0110 and everything went fine withpout problems.

also i have read 5.0.06.0110 RN and it is supported on Windows 7.

Thanks...

I cannot thank you enough. I was about to pack this up and take it back to Wally World. And then i would have bought a Mac Book.

God bless you!! I fought with this thing for too long trying to install it. It used to work, then it wouldn't, then it would again. Numerous attempts to uninstall, then reinstall all failed.

Thank you, thank you so much!! I couldn't be more grateful.

Shrew Soft provides a free VPN client that works for 64 bit windows. I tried this in Windows 7 64 bit and it is very straightforward.

It also allows you to import your .pcf file from your cisco configuration.

Go get it!

This doesn't work 64 bit..any suggestions or patch or workaround?

Installed using Shrew Soft VPN and it works perfectly.

I would first like to thank everyone in this article.  Very good info on the evolution of this problem.

I have 2 laptops that I installed Windows 7 on and figured this info would be helpful.

First laptop - I did get Windows 7 7100 build to work with the Cisco VPN Client 5.0.06.0110.  Works just fine.  Same instructions that JoshP gave above.

Second laptop - When Windows 7 came out, I installed Windows 7 Enteprise 32 bit on this second laptop, and did the exact same thing as listed above in this article (first entry by JoshP), however this did not work.  I would never receive an error.  The vpn client would just not connect.  It would eventually time out, but never actually give an error message.  I uninstalled the vpn client, and reinstalled with Vista SP2 compatibility mode, and also changed the UDP transport option to TCP.  Still no joy.  Any suggestions?

Cisco dosen't make a 64bit VPN client

Is Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client the same thing only with Win7 64-bit support?

No, AnyConnect needs to be supported by your router/firewall :(

Shrew Soft VPN for the win! Rather than jump through the XP-mode hoops for Win7 64bit, I installed the latest Shrew Soft VPN, 2.15, imported my Cisco PCF configuration file and connected ASAP!

I had previously uninstalled Cisco, ran DNE, removed the NDIS files and rebooted before doing this.

Note about removing the NDIS files. Windows wouldn't let me even as an Admin. So I downloaded TakeOwnership, installed the registry tweak, and performed Take Ownership. I was then able to rename the files (.bak) so Windows could re-install them on reboot. Worked great!

Hope that helps and it is free :)

Thanks Greg!

Shrew works great on Win7 x64 and it doesn't disconnect you from your home network unlike Cisco's client.

i found that if using wireless broadband connection to internet the vpn doesn't works in win7 (only vpn login sucess then all traffic fall in deny) but wifi and others ok. any idea?

Does this work on Windows 7 64 bit?

Hi, How do I know which Windows 7 I have got as per when you refer Windows 7100 etc.  Reason is I bought a notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium and am now also on the mission for VPN client for it. I have the version of VPN client which is compatible for Vista, this should work if I change to compatibility mode Vista SP2?

I am not having any luck with the Cisco client.

I am running Windows 7 under a VMWare Session on Mac OS 10.5.  Up to recently, I was using the Mac VPN client and bridging the connection to the VM running XP.  However, I created a new VM with Windows 7 and since then, whenever the Mac VPN client is launched ALL network connectivity for the VM is severed.

I was hoping that I could install the VPN client under W7 on the VM and connect to the VPN that way.  However, no workie.  It installs fine, no BSOD, and it tries to connect but times-out.  All other network connectivity on the VM seems to be working fine.  (I followed the steps enumerated at the beginning of this thread when I installed under W7.  It seemed to work.)

I thought I would kick-off parallel processing by posting my last message while continuing on with installing Shrew and testing that.  It works PERFECTLY in the configuration I mentioned:

-Mac OS 10.5

-VMWare Fusion 3.0.0 [using Bridged (Autodetect) for network settings]

-Windows 7

-Imported PCF file from company

This is great!

I installed the shrew soft vpn and it will not connect...it is telling me that the session is being terminated by the gateway...any suggestions.  I imported my pcl files from cisco.

Sweet work dude, worked well for me first time! I  took all the credit of course :-), they think I am a God : L O L :

I installed the shrew vpn solution on my new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit.  It works great.  I know nothing about a vpn or how it works because my IT folks always set it up for me.  I found the pcf file on the work laptop and copied over, installed the shrew solution, imported the pcf and off I went.  I can now connect to my office via remote desktop and not have to switch computers... great product.. even better that it is free.

I have tried different versions (release, beta-stable and alpha) of Shrew VPN. It has worked for me in the past on x64 Vista but recently has stopped working and also does not work on Win 7 x64. I do get a message that the tunnel is started and connected but then very shortly I get the message :  ...the session is being terminated by the gateway...

My guess is some minor changes in tcpip security in either the O/S hotfixes or VPN security hotfixes on the corporate router side may account for this. Hoping to get something working w/ XP compatibility mode under Win 7 x64 w/ the Cisco 5.0 client....

it work for me very well simple

When any flavour of VPN (Cisco, Shrew etc)was installed on a Win7 64 bit PC it would appear to work. But on reboot would loop on BSOD indicating the NDIS driver. I tried all suggested above but it did not work.

The solution was to disable the Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adaptor Driver. This fixed all my problems with NDIS and VPN.

Just installed Shrew 2.1.5 and imported the cisco cpf file and it worked like a charm!

Thanks a lot guys for this tip!

To fix for windows 7 simply disable the IPv6 from the vpn adapter properties

Shrew works for Window 7 x64. AFter testing I'll donate some $$

Thanks for posting this solution.  I was experiencing the error: 440 Driver Not Found whenever I tried to connect.  

After some trial and error, the procedure at the top of the page did the trick for me using V5.0.04 of the client on 32-bit Windows 7 Pro..  The explicit uninstall, DNE Update, and all of the reboots all seemed to be neccessary.  In my case no compatibility mode or NDIS tweaks were needed.

Recap:

1.Uninstall the previous version of Cisco VPN client

2.Reboot

3.Download the Citrix DNE Update and install it (or REPAIR if already installed from a previous attempt).

4.Reboot  

5.Install the Cisco VPN Client 5.0.04 or later

7.Reboot

8.Rebuild the connection profile (previous one was no longer visible for some reason)

Many thanks for this.

Had same problems like you, but...

... you just need "Windows 7 Firewall Control" in "plus"-version by Sphinx-Soft. Sometimes you will get a mark to register, but nothing else is regulated in trial-version.

Install Cisco VPN and apply the rule "EnableAll" - to get this rule, disable "recommended zones only".

Sometimes you need to change profile and add: UseLegacyIKEPort=1  

Works in my case without delete files or something else...

This post brings back memories of why I went to Ubuntu.  The built-in VPN client works like a charm; it couldn't be any easier.  The only thing I miss from Windows is Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Otherwise, everything available on Linux meets or exceeds Windows apps.

Great! It's a big help for me. Thanks a lot.

get error 414 each time I try to connect. check vnp connections states does not have valid IP address. Windows 7 64 bit home premium.

Installed Cisco VPN Client 5.0.07 version

still unable to get it to work.

IT department unable to figure this out. Any help!

I have tried all the suggestions listed and still unable to get the VPN to connect. Turned off all firewalls, changed to connect to IpSec TCP, IpSec UDP, changed the MTU settings to 1300. Did DNE update winfix.exe, removed nids, still unable to connect. Been working on this now about 3 weeks. Any help or suggestions!

I have tried all the above suggestions unfortunitly my VPN connection doesn't work and I got the below message:

"Secure VPN connection terminated locally by thee client.

Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding."

I'm using Windows 7 ultimate can any one help me.

Thanks....

This was our experience, Cisco VPN client for 64 bit works like a charm when connected to a network (wired or wifi) It does not work (it will authenticate only) when going via mobile broadband (in our case Telstra Australia). After reading this thread i downloaded the latest Shrew VPN client. Imported the Cisco profile file, Connected and Authenticated and all apps worked as they should. 3 cheers for Shrew.

i have tried all suggestions using 5.0.07.0290 on a windows starter. all seems to work , tunnel comes up, routing is in place, but no packets go thru the tunnel.

ip stack problem i guess.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate version, i tried to install vpn but it shows the problem of compatabilty.Can any one help me out....

I've been struggling for days with this problem on my new Windows 7 64 bit laptop. The cause?

Windows Firewall

It is enabled by group policy so I never suspected it.

I am using MAC OS 10.7, VMFusion and I could connect successfully over VPN after enabling Cisco N/w connection. Earlier I was getting a 442 error when it wasn't enabled.
