Notes

  1. Users having problems with NDIS Packet driver installation can run the Network Control Center and install the driver once the patch is applied.
  2. If Charon-PDP, Charon-AXP or/and Charon-VAX are running on the same server, they must be patched at the same time.
  3. 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?"
  4. 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. Failed to create symbolic link to the packet driver". The following procedure must then be applied:
    1. Open up "Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center"
    2. Select "Change Adapter settings"
