I just got to project, which is hosted on server, where the developers has to connect via Cisco VPN to upload stuff or access SSH. Problem is, that Cisco is unable to create client, which would run with no troubles on Windows 7 64bit!!! Solution is quiet simple:
When You download and start installation of the client (mine was: vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0290-k9.exe), You can start installation, but in one of the first steps will error occur:
installation ended prematurely because of an error
Fix which worked for me was following:
- Delete whole registry key (better do backup first, by right-click this key and select Export): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}
- Start commnad line as an administrator and type: regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\vbscript.dll
- Start installation again and it should work
- Restart your machine after install when promted
Well done, this solved my issue during the vpn installation. Tnx!!!
u r welcome
Thanks a lot, it solved the problem for me as well!
Ditto it worked for me as well.. How did you figure this out?
Thanks!
Found it somewhere on net a while ago. Actually I found couple of solutions but only this one worked for me.
Thumbs up!
HI
I have been trying to do this fix – for I have the same problem.
I cannot delete the register entry because it does not exist on the under the
current user registry.
Since it was not under the current user registry – I tried registering it and the regsvr32 said it was registered BUT the install still does not work and I still cannot find it in the current user registry. I did find it however in the local machine registry.
So I am unsure what to do. Any Suggestions?
What version of VPN are you trying to install?
Thanks a lot for putting this up. Took me a bit to find this solution but glad it was here.
U r welcome
Had same problem before too, so that`s why I added it here – to get it easier to find.
