I'll admit I never got around to that. Although Leo has responded to
the email I sent to the nag list. I have to admit, there's a part of
me that suspects the issue is more likely something funny with the two
machines that I've had this problem on than a general problem, so
didn't think to bother them.
FWIW, testing it in a vm with 10.6, it worked fine, so definitely not
an issue with the older os.
Java seems kinda difficult to reinstall on the older mac versions.
You can't download it from java.com, and apple doesn't seem to make it
easily available. Although I did see on mine that there was an update
for java that needed installed, but that didn't fix the problem
either. (FWIW, mine is the one that gives the error, and basically
what happens is it gets past the prompt where it asks you if you want
to install, then I get a failed to launch network connect error.)
Pretty sure the 10.5 machine was intel, although I have to admit I
never really thought to look. But I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

> Anyone know if there's a standalone installer for the MSU vpn for Macs? I've got a couple of Macs that I've been trying to get it installed on, and have had absolutely no luck. One of them it gets to the spot where it's supposed to download the client and does nothing, the other it gets there and gives an error (I can't remember the error because it's been a while, and apparently the vpn web site is not letting me in this morning, won't take my username and password).
> Both machines have java installed. Both machines are also somewhat older Macs, one running in the 10.5 line and the other in the 10.6 line, so I don't know if the problem is related to that or not? This problem started with the last vpn upgrade. I've had newer Macs that have installed with no problems, I haven't had a chance to try any older macs to see if they're also having issues or not.
