Objective

This article shows you how to download and install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 4.3 on a Mac Computer. This article is applicable only to Cisco Business products that includes the RV34x series routers and not Enterprise products.

Introduction

AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a modular endpoint software product. It not only provides Virtual Private Network (VPN) access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Internet Key Exchange version2 (IKEv2) but also offers enhanced security through various built-in modules. Why use a VPN? A VPN connection allows users to access, send, and receive data to and from a private network by means of going through a public or shared network such as the Internet but still ensuring a secure connection to an underlying network infrastructure to protect the private network and its resources.

I know I’m coming across this months later, but maybe I can shed some light for other users experiencing this same problem:

I used AppZapper to remove a copy of Cisco VPN I had installed on my system and ended up having the exact same issue as Glenn when trying to reinstall. What I did was this:

• Open Terminal and do the following:
  • su (be careful when giving yourself root, of course)
  • cd /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin
  • ls (to see if there’s a vpn_uninstall.sh file)
• If there is, then run the following command:

  You’ll get this confirmation message in the Terminal:

  Successfully removed Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client from the system.

  Now go back to your .dmg or vpn.pkg file (whatever your source for installing is). Now when you get to the Destination part, you should get no error and you can proceed with the installation.

  You didn’t uninstall it.

  Any third-party software that doesn’t install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.

  Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.

  Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product’s Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer’s website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you’re waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.

  You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.

  If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you’re sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.

  Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse . The same goes for «utilities» that purport to remove software.
