Summon night swordcraft story 3 translation. Brilliant! Thank you. When I read this, I realized that indeed I had been messing around with Internet Connection Sharing, to help colleagues at a workshop without Internet, to connect via my broadband. It was the next day that I started to have trouble with AnyConnect, but I'd attributed it to trying to connect to the University VPN as well as business VPN.
I was doing connection sharing with some Intel 'My Wifi' software that was on my laptop (maybe that came from Lenovo?), but the combination of that, the Verizon Broadband, and Lenovo's Access Connections, didn't allow that sharing to work. But when I gave up, Internet Connection Sharing must have been left enabled.
So just now, with your advice, I disabled the Internet Connection Sharing at the system level. (I didn't spot any 'Network Status and Tasks' icon in control panel, that is mentioned your quote.) After this disabling, and rebooting, the VPN Client Installed perfectly. So problem looks solved.
As an aside, I did try to get in and debug this. I used procmon to log what was going on at a deep level. What I observed is that the Cisco installer contraption is very strange; it downloads the vpndownloader.exe somehow as an ActiveX control. If that fails, it seems to try to download it again and get the Java client to invoke it? All it looks like the Java app is doing is invoking a freshly downloaded vpndownloader. Pretty ugly software design, IMO, real Rube Goldberg stuff (thanks Cisco). I logged it trying both attempts and fail, using Procmon, but the log messages there and with the event log, didn't make sense.
Many hours wasted on this. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's solved.
