Avaya has released version 10.06.500 of their VPN client (formerly Contivity Extranet Client) that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8.
This single client supports the following operating systems (in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions);
- Windows XP
- Windows Vista

The following note is included at the top of the release notes;
When upgrading from Windows 7 GA to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) users must remove the Avaya VPN Client prior to upgrading to SP1. Once the upgrade to SP1 is complete, reinstall the Avaya VPN Client.
Users who upgrade from a v10.05 or earlier release to v10.06 may receive the following error
dialogue when attempting to establish an IPSec VPN tunnel – “Activation of VPN Adapter Fa iled”. This issue occurs when the AVC filter a dapter is not upgraded correctly during software installation.

I’m no longer personally using the Avaya VPN Client. These days I utilize the Juniper Network Connect (and Pulse) client when working remotely. So I’m not really in a position to help everyone with their installation problems. In the past I’ve found that the client will work fine on a fresh OS installation the majority of the time when it wouldn’t work on that same machine prior to the re-imaging.
Cheers!
Do you have the custom kit versions of this release?
Thank you for posting the Avaya VPN Client binaries.
I just discovered that you can’t download them directly unless you have the right kind of Avaya account. Free, “non customer”, accounts on support.avaya.com don’t have permission. You don’t even have permission to view the MD5 checksum or Avaya signature files to verify binaries found elsewhere…
But you can see the various VPN client versions here, and see the files available for each:

Your welcome.
Hello,
This posted saved my ass once a long time ago, but I was silly and only downloaded the 64bit client. I figured I would never need the 32bit file.
The links are now broken, do you still have the AVC32-10.06.500.exe file? if so, could you email it to me? I have a contivity VPN and I really want to be able to connect with my netbook, which I run 32bit windows 10 on.
Thanks in advance
I’ll look Michael… not sure I still have that software laying around.
Ok, I see the problem… when I migrated to Nginx and starting using cdn.michaelfmcnamara.com as an alias and poor mans CDN.
Try now.
