Problem

When trying to install or update the IXON VPN Client, the following error message is shown:

Cause

Something on the local system is not permitted or not functioning properly. This has been observed on very strict systems with very limited permissions.

Solution

If you just downloaded the VPN Client from the IXON Cloud, try to uninstall the previous version first:

Uninstall the VPN Client
Install the VPN Client

If that doesn't resolve the issue, generate an installation log and contact your IT to investigate why the installation fails on your system.

Using an unsupported version or operating system?
If you are using a no longer supported VPN Client version (Windows 32-bit) or operating system (e.g. Windows 7), try installing an older version. Keep in mind that these are no longer supported. This means that if an older version does not work, we're unable to provide support and you'll need to update your system.
