5. Install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.04.0300 or above.
6. Reboot
7. Windows 7 will repair itself (because we deleted those files). This will take a minute or so and it will automatically reboot.
8. All should work well!

Ahh you just beat me to it on posting this.

I found the same thing at the link below. It has worked on all 3 PC's that we are testing windows 7 on in the office.

Good news... with 7068 build you no longer have to do those .dll hacks.

Just install and use

I actually still had to install the DNE Update for it to work, but at least it didn't blue screen and I didn't have to screw with the dlls...

this seems to be working fine for me. i've installed Cisco VPN Client - 5.0.05.0300 on my Windows 7 build 7000 machine, and was successfully able to connect to my work public wireless and connect to our work network over it.

wow my luck~

I use Virtual PC so I can access my computer at the same time as I'm in the VPN. I installed XP onto the Virtual PC and my VPN software without any issues.

Has anyone tried the new BETA AnyConnect on 64 bit lately?

**fakeasdf** · 10-21-2009

AnyConnect only works with certain Cisco devices, but if your companies devices allows AnyConnect to work with it, then Yes AnyConnect works with Windows 7 x64.

You might want to check Shrew:

Shrew Soft Inc : Download : VPN Client For Windows

I use it in Win 7 Ent. 64-bit. It even can read Cisco's settings. Works fast and is reliable. Oh yes, it's of course free.

Cool, I will get the latest build and try again. Up until recently I would get blue screens on Windows 7 64 RTM.
