Cisco VPN Client for 64bit (Vista & Windows 7) now Beta
It looks like there’s now a 64bit version of the cisco VPN client:
vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0240-k9.exe - Vista, Windows 7 - 64bit only.
I think important to know:
The new client beta requires a kernel patch, KB952876, from Microsoft before installing first installing the actual client. It is also suggested that Service Pack 2 for Vista be installed. REF: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952876/en-us VPN Client takes longer to connect on Vista compared to XP. This is due to new features in Vista. The Cisco VPN Client for Windows Vista and Windows 7 does NOT support the following: * System upgraded from Windows XP to Vista or Windows 7 (clean OS installation required). * Start Before Logon * Integrated Firewall - See workaround below. * InstallShield * 64bit support * AutoUpdate * Translated Online Help - Provided only in English If you are experiencing a BlueScreen on XP related to the VPN client built-in Firewall client, please follow the workaround below.(check out release notes).
Check out the release notes for any details.
