I know I'm coming across this months later, but maybe I can shed some light for other users experiencing this same problem:
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:
- 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.
