Solution
There currently is no standalone FortiClient for VPN. However a couple of alternatives are available.
1. FortiClient App
If running Windows 8 or 10, download the FortiClient App from the Microsoft store. This App can only be used for SSL VPN.
2. Standalone Installer
Create a standalone FortiClient VPN installer with the FortiClient Configurator tool. The standalone installer provides an SSL or IPSec VPN tool that can be used on PCs running Windows 7, 8 or 10.
For detailed instructions on using the FortiClient Configurator please refer to the following docs:
