Forticlient VPN endend prematurely

Hi, I'm having a problem installing the VPN with Forticlient. The installation stops prematurely and displays this message. Have you experienced something similar?

I ran into the same “installation ended prematurely” issue with FortiClient VPN. What fixed it for me was running the installer as admin, clearing leftover Fortinet registry entries, and disabling antivirus temporarily. Also, make sure you're using the correct version (standard vs. EMS). If it keeps failing, try extracting the MSI and installing via command line for better error visibility.
