Hello folks;
I'm having issue driving me crazy so far. My company is updating to AnyConnect 3.1.01065 from 2.5 version. On my new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 i was always using version 2.5 of AnyConnect without any problems. when trying to upgrade or even remove then install the new AnyConnect 3.1.01065 i always get this error at the end of the installation:
"The installation encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance"
I tried everything including manually removing the old version and re-installaing, also tried to reset my NVRAM on my mac. Tried to run disk verification and repair to repair permission. I also unchecked any optinal components and only left the VPN option checked on the installation with no luck. I have 53 GB of free space on my mac.
Other users at work had similar OS and installed it without any problems. Here's the logs hopefully will give any clue on why it's failing.

I solved the issue by just rebuilding my Mac from scratch
