I am having problems with installing the Cisco Anyconnect Client version 4.1.04011-web-deploy-k9 on Windows 10. Before upgrading to Windows 10 I uninstalled (add / remove programs) the old client. After upgrade to Windows 10 I want to install the supported version of Anyconnect but this failed. Click OK to terminate the install. Open the AnyConnect Client application. The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client opens. If pre-configured to access the Duke VPN, click Connect. If the connection string is blank or Duke VPN does not work when you click Connect, type portal.duke.edu into the connection field and click Connect. The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is used to connect to the War Room VPN, CSVPN2, and HUVPN. This guide shows you how to install the Cisco AnyConnect client on Windows. Go to one of the following, depending on the VPN you want to connect to: Cyber War Room VPN; csvpn2; huvpn; Select the appropiate group and enter your username.

Overview
Cisco's AnyConnect VPN is a VPN client that works on a wide variety of operating systems and hardware configurations. The new Cisco AnyConnect VPN client and service will work under Mac OS X (10.6, 10.7, and 10.8), Windows (Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, including 64-bit versions), and Linux.
Installation and startup are initiated via a web page that installs and launches a signed ActiveX or Java VPN client to connect to MIT's service quickly and easily. If for some reason neither the ActiveX or Java clients work, you will be given the option to manually download and install the software. For more information, see: Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client at MIT.

Note: You may be warned about a certificate. Accept or authorize it and continue.

Do so when prompted. This enables the VPN software to be installed on your computer.
Result: If installation succeeds, proceed to [Step 6]. If the web-based installer failed to find a way to directly install the software, you will be presented with the option to download an installer or retry automatic installation.Automatic installation occasionally fails on the first try. If it does, click Retry.
Note: Many times the VPN auto-installer does not succeed in installing VPN software on the first try due to how the installer looks for certificates and when the site is added to your list of trusted sites. Click retry at least once before giving up and manually installing the software. It frequently works on the second attempt.
If automatic installation fails once more, you will need to install the VPN Client software manually. Download the installer provided (it may be different than the one in the example depending on your operating system).
If the installer does not open automatically, go to your Downloads folder and double click on the installer icon. Follow the prompts to install the software manually.When you see the Connection Established screen, the VPN client software has been installed on your machine and you have been automatically connected to the MIT VPN. You can safely close your browser window.
