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:
Greetings, We just deployed AnyConnect 4.8.00175 to our MAC users in anticipation of macOS Catalina 10.15 (upgrading from AnyConnect 4.5.05030). Cisco AnyConnect 4.8.00175 is the first version that officially supports operation on macOS Catalina and contains no 32-bit code. During the install, som. Cisco VPN Client is a straightforward software solution that enables you to establish connections between your computer and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a Cisco VPN device. Use a Cisco device to create a secure tunnel to a VPN. In other words, the Cisco VPN Client employs a Cisco VPN device (VPN 3000 Series Concentrators, Cisco IOS. EOL/EOS for the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client 2.3 and Earlier (All Versions) and 2.4 (for Desktop) EOL/EOS for the Cisco SSL VPN Client; EOL/EOS for the Cisco Secure Desktop 3.4.x and Earlier; End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on Symbian.
- 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:sh vpn_uninstall.sh
- 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.
