There is no 64-bit runnable client for Windows (including Vista and Windows 7).  After much frustration, today I finally found a workable solution.

1.) Install Windows XP Mode which is available for free from Microsoft’s website.  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx.  This will only work for Windows 7.  You might be able to install VMWare w/Unity Mode to do the same.

2.) Once you have the whole thing set up, fire up the virtual machine and install the CheckPoint VPN-1 SecureClient.  This will publish it to the Start Menu on Windows 7.

3.) You need to turn off NAT in order to get this to work, so under Tools, select the currently connected Network Adapter.

4.) Now you can run the application seamlessly in Windows 7, the virtual machine will run hidden.

5.) If you need to remote desktop, you’ll need to hack the registry in order to all the Remote Desktop application (which by default is not enabled) to be published.

6.)

1. Open regedit in the VM
2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtual Machine\VPCVAppExcludeList a the Name of the program in question
3. Delete the value that you don't want (say Name: mstsc.exe Type: REG_SZ Data: C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe)
4. Restart the virtual machine

7.) Now you should be able to use the VM’s RDP application to remote to any system that you’ve connected to via the VPN
