Cisco Anyconnect and Windows 8.1

What is wrong with Cisco?  They put out an installer file that requires a registry edit to work correctly!!!

Below is what I did to get the Anyconnect client to work on Windows 8.1.

 

UAC accept box

2^nd UAC accept box

Find this registry key:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpnva

Deleted everything to the left of Cisco.

Reload

Added software to Cisco ASA’s that was missing and I was successful in getting connected with the Full client on my Windows 8.1 computer.
