> Unfortunately i have the same problem installing VPN Client 5.0 on Vista > Business, but never had such problems installing on Win XP. did you ever solve the problem? this is a weird problem, there's fa on google about this. After a bit more investigating I discovered that my XP will not allow the creation of a file called vsdatant.sys. As a test I created a text file and saved it as vsdatant.txt in the system32 folder. I then renamed the file to vsdatant.sys but in about a second the file suddenly disappeared. I don't have any security software on my pc, I've never tried any security software except the windows firewall in the control panel and I've tried both on and off with it. So something in xp is blocking the creation of this file. anyone got any ideas? | ||||||||||||||||

> No, never found a solution. I've given up :( I've seen this file before .. I'm pretty certain it has something to do with ZoneAlarm. I'm having trouble installing VPN Client 4.8.00. I didn't think I had ZoneAlarm running as there were no icons in the System Tray, but it appears I am running it, as I can't delete VSDATANT.SYS as Windows XP says it's in use..... gonna try uninstalling ZoneAlarm and re-installing the client. I'll write back and let you know my findings. G. | ||||||||||||||||
