Problem with installing Cisco VPN Client on Windows 7

cisco-vpnvpnwindows 7

When attempting to install Cisco VPN version 4.9.01, I am getting the following error:

The driver is blocked due to compatibility issues
Driver: Deterministic Networks
Publisher: Deterministic Networks
Location: Not Available

This driver is incompatible with the version of Windows you are upgrading to. It is likely that the driver is part of another networking software package and will need to be uninstalled before you attempt this upgrade again.

In addition, this also causes me to loose my internet connection until I uninstall VPN.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at this post, which indicates that you need v5.0.4.0300 or newer on Windows 7. Do you have the option of using a newer version? Cisco's VPN client page doesn't yet list support for Windows 7.
