Question

Fortinet VPN Client, install does not create Virtual Adpter

Installing the Fortinet VPN Client on a Windows 11 machine does not create a virtual adapter. Reinstalling the client does not resolve the issue either.

 

I’m hoping that manually creating the virtual adapter will solve the problem, but I haven’t found any documentation on how to do this. Has anyone else encountered and resolved this issue?

Hi,

What version of FortiClient have you installed/tried ?

 

L.E. try also installing VC and a uninstall/install of FCT, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

    an idea would be to reinstall the client.

    Yea I've done it several times.  The thing that is weird it the vpn worked for a week or so, and now as soon as i connect it says it crashed.  Have another machine right next to it, same installer, it connected just fine and I see that adapter.
