Hi does anyone know how to get the Nortel VPN Client for windows vista to
work on an 64bit versino?

You cannot unless Nortel releases a 64-bit version.

I have a simular problem with Nortel VPN client. The error I get is the
following:

-- “This version of the Contivity VPN Client can only be
installed on Vista.”-
-- “If this is a Vista system, turn off compatibility mode for
the CVC installer (typically this is eac607d.exe).”-

I am trying to find out when Nortel will release a version for Vista
X64

I have found a temporary solution to the VPN Client not running under
Wx64. I have install MS Virtual PC with W2K. This is allowing me to do
two necessary things. First with W2K running I can install the VPN
Client. Second, I can run IE 6 which a lot of the sites I need to work
with require.

'Microsoft Virtual PC 2007'

Hope this helps someone.

Hi all,

I have been monitoring this issue since I acquired my Vista 64-bit
system a few months ago - and sadly there seems to be no commitment from
Nortel to provide Vista x64 customers with a working VPN client.

However, I have found another solution which works for me.

If you have a second PC running XP or Vista x86 on the same LAN or
VLAN, you can install the Nortel VPN client on that machine and use
Remote Desktop to connect to it from your x64 machine.

Remote Desktop is a utility that comes standard on both XP and Vista.
If you have a password-protected user account on the remote (32-bit)
machine you should be able to Remote Desktop to it.

Your Remote Desktop session then runs as an additional window in your
x64 workspace. You can also enable disk sharing between the two
machines. So that the files on your local machine are available in the
Remote Desktop window.

Using this set up it should be possible to do just about everything you
could do if the VPN client was running on your local machine.

Obviously this won't work for everyone, but it was a good solution that
worked for me.

From what I hear Nortel is due to release a vista x64 client some time
in December (08)

What I use these days is run a VM of XP with the client installed. It
obviously isn't as convenient but does the trick.

In my opinion everyone should be running VMs on their machines in
general.

notebook !

I was call the nortel hotline, and they say that the update will come
