Installing Net Extender on Windows 8 machines. (VPN windows 8)

  • Download the most recent version of Net Extender directly from www.mysonicwall.com.
  • Change User Account Control Settings - minimize the notifications given by this.
  • Reboot
  • In services.msc
    • Disable Firewall
    • Disable Windows Defender
    • Enable Remote Access Connection Manager (make automatic)
    • Enable Remote Desktop Services (make automatic)
  • Run installation for Net Extender
  • Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to the VPN connection website.
    • Add website to Trusted Sites in Internet Options -> Security
  • Login to the VPN
This was all done to resolve the original error generated when attempting to download Net Extender from the VPN website upon login. 
  • The error read: "Failed to install NetExtender, the installation has been rolled back!"
The most critical part of this resolution was disabling the notifications from the UAC (User Account Control)
