I did this crazy thing of installing a new version of Cisco VPN client on my laptop without un-installing the previous version. Result: DISASTER. Sleepless night.
The VPN client that ultimately resulted from my stupidity was un-usable. So I tried doing the next best thing, un-install. The VPN client wouldn't uninstall as it was searching for a different installer than the version that was installed.
I had no other option but to delete the Cisco VPN installed folder and muck around with the registry to try and remove all entries and hope the installer would let me install the new version. But, no such luck.
Finally I stumbled upon this Windows Installer CleanUp Utility that helped make the VPN installer think that no previous version of Cisco VPN existed on my machine and allowed me to install the version I wanted.
