Re: Virtual Network Adapter Device Driver-Failed
You need to run the client as administrator. Then when the UAC prompt comes up while creating the network driver, you just need to accept.

Re: Virtual Network Adapter Device Driver-Failed
Do you use any security software?

Re: Virtual Network Adapter Device Driver-Failed
I think re-installing Virtual Network Adapter Device Driver after uninstalling the security software may be effective sometime.

Re: Virtual Network Adapter Device Driver-Failed
Connected to VPN Client "localhost".
VPN Client>niccreate vpn0
NicCreate command - Create New Virtual Network Adapter
Error occurred. (Error code: 31)
Installation of the Virtual Network Adapter device driver failed.
VPN Client>
tried the following:
Run:
sudo ./vpnclient stop
ps -fade | grep vpnclient
And make sure no vpnclient service is running (sudo kill it if necessary).
If you want to see what processes are running use the command
ps -ef
If you want to look up all processes by user bob, this might help
pgrep -l -u root
or
ps -ef | grep root
Then make sure you run vpnclient as root:
sudo ./vpnclient start
And try to recreate the NIC using vpncmd. Works for me.
sudo ./vpncmd
niccreate
