I can't find a solution anywhere to this problem I have with this vsdatant.sys file. I'm
trying to install cisco vpn client software in Windows XP MCE with SP2 and midway through
the install and I get:
Error 1304 Error writing to file:
C\Windows\system32\vsdatant.sys, Verify that you have access to that
directory.
I tried re-setting the whole system32 folder to normal, still get the
error.
tried installing the vpn client via the msi file, still get the error.
tried running the install as administrator, still get the error
tried logging in as administrator (with password) and installing from there,
still get the error.
Yes I have tried the cisco forums, no joy. But I think this is a problem with my Windows
XP, not with the cisco software I'm trying to install. After some investigating I
discovered that my windows XP will not allow the creation of a file called vsdatant.sys in
the system32 folder. As a test I created a text file and saved it as vsdatant.txt in the
system32 folder. I then renamed the file to vsdatant.sys but a second later the file
suddenly disappeared. Some process is nuking it.
The google trawl on vsdatant.sys continually brings up references to Zone Alarm but I
don't have zone alarm on my PC, I've never had it. I don't have any security software on
my pc, I've never even tried any security software except the windows firewall in the
control panel and I've set it both on and off. So something in xp is blocking the creation
of this file but I'm stumped. Thanks for any help.
