Notes
- Users having problems with NDIS Packet driver installation can run the Network Control Center and install the driver once the patch is applied.
- If Charon-AXP, Charon-VAX or/and Charon-PDP are running on the same server, they must be patched at the same time.
- In case either Charon-AXP, Charon-VAX or Charon-PDP is installed & patched, if you install Charon-VAX, Charon-PDP or Charon-AXP later, you will have to answer "No to all" to the question: "The local file has more recent modification date. Overwrite this file?"
- After installation of the patch on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 hosts the following error may occur (very rare): "The system cannot find the file specified. : EWA0: Failed to create symbolic link to the packet driver". The following procedure then must be applied:
- Open up "Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center"
- Select "Change Adapter settings"
- Select each network interface used for Charon and with right click of mouse select "Disable"
- Select each network interface used for Charon and with right click of mouse select "Enable"
- Start Charon
