Cisco VPN Client Fix – Error 27850 – Unable to install or uninstall

21 July 201920 April 2016 by A.J. Armstrong

If you are a user of Cisco VPN client then you may come across this error during either installation or when you try to uninstall the client:

This is usually due to a corruption in the Windows operating system configuration and can happen if you have more than one VPN client installed (or attempted install).

But, the fix is very easy. Simply go into your registry using regedit command and find the follow key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current\ControlSet\Control\Network

From here you should now see a “Config” string. You should delete this string and reboot your machine.
After the install, try your install or uninstall and you should now notice that it works perfectly!

Cisco VPN Client – How to make it work with Windows 10

24 March 202024 January 2016 by A.J. Armstrong

How to make the legacy Cisco VPN client worth with Windows 10 [2020 Updated]

Total Time: 15 minutes

Introduction

If you are trying to install Cisco VPN Client on a Windows 10 machine, then you will probably get an error telling you that it is incompatible with the version of Windows you are using like the above image.

Well, this is true, however, there is a way around this by using the steps below.

Download the VPN Fix Package

First of all you need to download our VPN fix package for Windows 10 which you can download using the link below:

Download Cisco VPN Fix Package

Scroll down the page a little and you will see the blue Download button like the one above.

You will also need to ensure that you have the installer for the legacy Cisco VPN client software, as this is licenced, we cannot give you a download for it.

Extract the Cisco VPN Fix Package

Once you have these you should extract the VPN fix package which will give you the following utilities:

– WinFix.exe – Windows Fixup for DNE
– DNEUpdatex86.msi – DNE Updater for x86 Operating Systems (Provided by Citrix)
– DNEUpdatex64.msi – DNE Updater for x64 Operating Systems (Provided by Citrix)
– CiscoVPNClientFixx64.exe – Cisco VPN Client Fix for x64 Operating Systems (Provided by TechyGeeksHome)
– CiscoVPNClientFixx86.exe – Cisco VPN Client Fix for x86 Operating Systems (Provided by TechyGeeksHome)

Run the Fixes in order

You have to run these utilities in a particular order to enable this to work. So, identify the architecture of the operating system you are using, for this guide we will use x64.

Run the WinFix.exe utility first and you will be presented with a box like the one above.

You should click on the Start Windows Fixup button to start the process, once completed you will get a message in the utility advising that the installation is complete.

DNE Update Utility

You can then move on to installing the DNE Update utility. So double click the DNEUpdatex64.msi and you will see a standard installation wizard like the one above.

Install Legacy Cisco VPN Client

You can then go ahead and install the Cisco VPN Client which should now install without any problems – but ensure that you use the MSI file to start the install process, NOT the EXE file.

However, this is not the end of the process as the VPN Client, although successfully installed, will not actually connect to your VPN profiles.

Enabling the VPN Profiles

To resolve this issue, you should now install the CiscoVPNClientFixx64.exe utility by again just running through all the wizard defaults.

Once this is complete, you should reboot your computer. Then you should be able to fire up your Cisco VPN Client and connect to your VPN profiles without any trouble!

Windows 8.1 & Windows 10

If you are running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and are having trouble with your Cisco VPN Client then you should take a look at our Cisco Microsite by clicking the link below for guides and utilities:

Cisco CLI – How to remove the “–More–” prompt when running long commands

14 July 201811 August 2015 by A.J. Armstrong

If you are a Cisco CLI user, you will be familiar with the “–More–” prompt when you run a command that spreads over a number of pages. This can be infuriating if you run a command that brings back hundreds or even thousands of pages.

So, if you want to run a command but have it run through all the pages in one go, you can follow this simple guide.

INSTRUCTIONS

Once you have logged into your CLI terminal, just run this command before you start to run any other commands (this assumes you are logged in as a privileged administrator:

Terminal pager 0

This will then make the current terminal session now longer stop when you run a command and will not request you to press a key when you get to the end of the page.

Cisco – How to change or view IP helper address

23 April 202013 July 2015 by A.J. Armstrong

If you are using Cisco switches, you may find that you need to configure IP helper addresses to give devices on different VLAN’s the correct direction to your DHCP server.

To do this, you can use the following commands:

Show ip int vlan #

# = the number of your VLAN

To view the current vlan configuration:

This will bring back all the information about your current VLAN, including where (if at all) your IP helper address is pointing to and should look similar to this:

Cisco Helper IP Address

To configure or change where your switch is pointing its IP helper addresses to, you can use the following command:

NOTE: These commands assume that your current IP helper address is 192.168.0.1 and you want to change it to 192.168.0.2:

Config t
Int vlan #
TO REMOVE IP HELPER: no ip helper-address 192.168.0.1
TO ADD IP HELPER: ip helper-address 192.168.0.2
Exit
