Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0280 fixes the NDIS.SYS bluescreen with Windows 7 that originally happened with version 5.0.04.0300

Even though you might be leery of trying a beta Cisco VPN client, you are technically running a beta OS, so what have you got to lose?

This version seems to fix the infamous NDIS.SYS bluescreen-on-post-VPNinstall-reboot. You can see the various workarounds documented for the earlier version of the client here.

Update: False alarm - v5.0.05.0280 still has the blue screen issue but JoshP's instructions works around the problem.

i now have the latest version 5.0.05.0280 and its working fine no more blue screen but it did give me a mds error on installing, didnt give this on Vista.

So far Windows 7 is great so much better than vista!

The latest version on the Cisco site is still
vpnclient-win-msi-5.0.04.0300-k9.exe.

Client 5.0.05.0280 still crashes with the NDIS.SYS blue screen for me under Win7 beta.

I have the Cisco 5.0.05.0280 client and it doesn't fix the issue on a freshly installation Windows 7 beta system (build 7000). I followed the steps that JoshP posted on this page (http://blog.tiensivu.com/aaron/archives/1817-How-to-prevent-Cisco-VPN-client-version-5.0.4.0300-installation-from-bluescreening-Windows-7-x32-Build-7000.html) and was able to get this working.

Hope this helps someone.

This newer version does not solve the problem.. I'm trying the other methods now.
