Navigate Windows File Explorer to the installer file. Double-click Setup.exe to initiate the installation process.

Check your Downloads folder to locate the AnyConnect files. Browser based downloads are often deposited into the downloads folder on your device on windows. The path to the file often resembles C:Users[Your User ID]Downloads with the C:/ referring to your devices storage drive.

Step 3

A pop-up window may ask for permissions, in this case, select Yes. If your pop-up asks if you are sure you want to run this software, select Run.

Step 4

Check the check boxes for the modules that you need to install.

  • Core & VPN - Includes AnyConnect core client with VPN capability.
  • Start Before Login - User sees the AnyConnect GUI logon dialog before the Windows logon dialog box appears.
