Window x64 and Cisco VPN Client

I got a new computer recently.  Here's my setup:

I was interested to test out the 64-bit version of Windows, and I was pleasently surprised with the number of drivers that came preconfigured with the installation.  After the install process, my LCD monitor even came up at 1600 x 1200 with no video driver installation - impressive (I'm easily entertained.)  BUT after I started to get all set up with my standard home workstation software, I found that Cisco's VPN client refused to install on x64 Windows!  This is not good!  So I did what any good nerd would do... Google!  Unfortunately with no success.  You know, if you can't connect to your work computer with your primary home computer, that's a problem!  Long (boring) story short, I am now running Windows XP 32-bit which is uber less exciting (and nerdy.)  Let me know if you find a 64-bit Cisco VPN client!

I would like to remind you how very wrong you were on this. 2 years later and no windows x64 support. Dear Cisco, Hug my nads.

Hey.. was googling for this and got directed here. This post seems to be put up way back but did you get the VPN client that gets installed on x64 XPP? I am in urgent need of it and the one I am using right now 4.8.01.0300 gives Reason 440: Driver Failure.
Please help..
Thanks in advance! :)

Sudeep: Unfortunately, no. I have not tried again to go the x64 XP route - though there are a lot of people out there that are still looking for a solution (I'm guessing this because I still get a lot of hits on this post... 1.5 years later.)

Do what I did. its uber nerdy and kind of a pain in the ass. but i use my x64 OS as my primary, and anything that wont run on 64 is installed on the 32bit windows I have installed.

Dual boot baby!

Running the 32 bit Cisco VPN client in a virtual pc seems to defeat the purpose of having your default PC be the computer running the client.

I have the same problem. A department ordered a 64-bit laptop with WinXP 64-bit. It's too bad Cisco doesn't have a 64-bit VPN client available.

Hello Cisco, this was posted 2 years ago!! 64 bit OS's are NOT new, where the heck is the 64 bit VPN client?

Gawd, windows XP was the first workstation OS when we started to "really" see people loading 64bit. windows XP was released in 2001... its 2007, over a 1/2 decade later and still no vpn client.

if i ran business like this, i would be out of business.

You call yourselves nerds. Running VM is like putting a Band-Aid on a broken bone.

Good grief, it's now almost May 2008,
still no sign of a working Win XP x64 Cisco VPN client!
Absolutely ridiculous.

Win XP x64 is the best desktop OS around right now. Much better than Vista, even.
