Duplicate Connections on Install from Bundled Installer
Got a problem with Viscosity or need help? Ask here!
I am an IT Administrator evaluating Viscosity for my small business. I created a custom bundle package for employee installation following the instructions here: http://www.thesparklabs.com/support/vis ... viscosity/. I am using version 1.3.5 (1120) of Viscosity.
When I install the bundled package in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, the new connection appears twice with the same name. No other connections appear. Selecting first connection causes a Microsoft .NET Framework error. I’ve included the exception text below. The second connection properly establishes the VPN connection. This issue does not appear in Windows XP.
In the bundle creation, I placed the VPN connection files into the Connections-Overwrite folder. When I place the files in the Connections-Append folder I have the same issue. When I place the files in the Connections folder no connections appear upon install.
I’ve included my VPN connection config file, bundle compile script, and Viscosity preconfigured settings file below. Am I doing something wrong, or is this an issue in Viscosity?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Two things spring to mind:
1. I'd recommend trying to remove the "ConnectionOrder" key, and see if that makes a difference, as this may be what is causing your second phantom connection (that causes a crash as it doesn't actually exist). You'll need to remove the following from your settings file:

2. If the above trick doesn't solve the issue, do you have the same problem with the latest beta version? The latest beta version contains massive improvements to Viscosity Windows (including huge performance improvements), so it may be worth investigating with it as well. It can be downloaded at: http://www.thesparklabs.com/forum/viewt ... 1593#p1593<key>ConnectionOrder</key>

Hi Mark,
Great to hear.
We are hoping for it to be released this month. We may end up pushing out the performance improvements as version 1.3.6, and leave the new features (which require more testing) for version 1.4, so it is available sooner.
Cheers,
James
