Trying to VPN for work. It was working fine before yesterday.
Continue to get the following error message:
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client can't be installed on this disk. New version 3.1.07021 of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is already installed.
I have tried my company's help-desk, an Apple guru, and Apple themselves. No one can find the alleged "installed" version. I have tried the termnal commands, but still it is not working. Below is what I get back:
sudo /usr/libexec/MobilityClient/bin/uninstall_MobilityClient.command
Jennifers-iMac:~ jrparks15$ cd /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin
-bash: cd: /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin: No such file or directory
Jennifers-iMac:~ jrparks15$ ls
Desktop Downloads Library Music Public
Documents Dropbox Movies Pictures
Any advice? Has anyone else had this issue. I'm at my wits end. I have the latest software for Yosemite, I've looked in every possible place and cannot find the Mobility Client to correctly uninstall it and reinstall what I need to work from home.

I'm assuming you've tried the Apple pkgutil tool to uninstall it.
If you haven't, try this from an OS X terminal - run:
sudo pkgutil --forget com.cisco.pkg.anyconnect.vpn

Dunno much about MACs but had this issue with a windows PC and removed a folder for Anyconnect from directory then installed with no issues. If there is a similar thing in MAC world probably give it a go.
