Also note the following caveat during installation.  This is quoted from the
install of the newest (Apr 02/02) client:

 "VPN Client can not be installed if the Windows IPSec Policy Agent is
enabled."; "IPSec Policy Agent must be disabled."

Hey all,
When installing the Cisco Systems VPN Client on Windows XP, it warns
you that XP driver signing will cause some "error messages" to pop up
during
the installation. To prevent this, instead of telling you just to OK them,
it actually tells you to go and disable XP driver signing completely. It
makes no mention of re-enabling it afterwards. Anyone else find that a bit
of stupid advice?

Just FYI, in case your users are doing this themselves.
