Winfrasoft VPN-Q 2009 Problem: When running the VPN-Q 2006
or 2009
Client
on Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 installed you receive one of the following
errors:
Fail - VPN-Q 2006 Client requires Windows XP SP2 (i386), Windows XP (x64) or
Windows Vista but detected Microsoft Windows Vista {your edition} 6.0.6002.
Fail - Winfrasoft VPN-Q 2009 requires Windows XP SP2
(i386), Windows XP (x64) or Windows Vista but detected Microsoft Windows {your
edition} 6.0.6002.
Cause: For the second time,
Microsoft has broken with tradition and changed the OS build number for Windows
Vista when a service pack is installed. Prior to Windows Vista, a Windows service pack did not
effect the build number of the OS. The build number of the original release of
Windows Vista is 6.0.6000, whereas the build number after installing SP1
had changed to 6.0.6001 and SP2 has changed to 6.0.6002.
Resolution:
This issue was first corrected in SP3 Update 7 for to VPN-Q
2006 and Update 1 for VPN-Q 2009 to allow for the change in
build number in Windows Vista after installing Service Pack 2, they are also
available via the auto update system. These updates contain new OS detection
routines which should make VPN-Q compatible with future OS service pack updates.
