As you have windows XP; it would have system restore enabled by enabled and the system would have created restore points. Can you first create a restore point [so we can restore the system to the current state if needed] and then try restoring the system to a date before you started the uninstall/install process of the VPN client.
Now you can stop/uninstall any software which you think is/are/might be interrupting with the Cisco client.
Thank you.
I was having this same problem on a botched install on Vista. I have been attempting to install the most recent version, which should be the first non-beta version compatible with Vista. Same problem with the DNE, and when I tried to uninstall the bits manually, I could not delete the HKLM\Software\Deterministi
Doing a little searching, I found a technote from Citrix, which I assume has purchased DN, that contains a utility to fix up these botched DNE installations. After running the utility, rebooting, and installing the VPN again, it worked!

Just a side note about the ZoneAlarm firewall products. The Cisco VPN Client includes some pieces they use with the ZoneAlarm engine, so it is potentially a problem that it could cause a conflict. Quite frankly, the whole Cisco VPN Client is one of the buggiest pieces of software I've had to deal with, and I'll be more than happy when I can get rid of our VPN Concentrator and replace it with something that works much better.

I have tried the following so far w/o luck:
1. Disabled/stopped ZoneAlarm before install
2. Stopped all VMware Wrkstn services before install
3. Disconnected & ejected WWAN card before install
All return the same error above
