Next – you guessed it – you’re going to make a quick registry edit. In Windows 11, you can access Regedit by typing it into the search bar (to the right of the Start button) or by using the shortcut Win + R and typing Regedit there. Once you’ve made your way through the Cisco VPN client install wizard, it’s time to break out everyone’s favorite registry editor, namely Regedit. However, if you’re continuing to run into trouble, we have a few extra steps you can take in the section below dedicated to troubleshooting. The Cisco VPN client should now work as expected in Windows 11. Click Next until you’re finished, then, as instructed, click Finish. Right click and change the MST portion of the file name to MSI – it’s that simple.įrom there, double-click the newly converted vpnclient_setup.msi to finally begin the install wizardry. Then, if you’re like us, you’ll encounter another issue: the freshly unzipped file will be an unopenable MST file, which luckily we have a stupidly easy fix for. To bypass this, unzip the file using file compression software like WinZip or 7-Zip and extract it to some place memorable like your desktop. First off, you’re probably going to run into an error claiming that the file isn’t supported by your version of Windows.
With the EXE file downloaded, you’re going to have to make some changes before you can actually perform an installation of the Cisco VPN client. In fact, you can continue to download the Windows executable installer without signing up for a new account or logging into an existing one. Note that you don’t have to sign up for a Dropbox account to access this file despite the web client prompting you to.
If you opt for the Dropbox route, make sure you select ‘Direct download’ rather than ‘Save to my Dropbox’. After that, download the Cisco VPN client itself from Dropbox, although we couldn’t get a download to initiate from the latter (perhaps you’ll have more luck). You’ll want to ensure the Windows executable you retrieve is the latest version of the 64-bit client or it might not work as anticipated.
