cisco vpn on windows 8.1 x64

you will google but this is what I did.

the problem is, after authentication, the vpn cannot establish itself. in device manager, the cisco network interface has a warning.

1 - reg key modification:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpnva

Remove all characters that seem to be left over from a bad installation before "
Cisco AnyConnect..." and save.


2 - uninstall cisco vpn and reboot (this actually doesn't touch the reg key)
3- follow instructions here http://www.citrix.com/go/lp/dne.html run winfix and then the dnupdate 
4 - reboot and install cisco vpn client
5 - run the vpn client, delete the device with the warning sign in device manager

you will see a valid device disabling and enabling itself when the vpn is establishing itself correctly.
