Checkpoint Remote Access 'connection failed' Issue with Windows 8 or 8.1

I have seen this issue in couple of clients, they were using windows 8 and windows 8.1.

They tried to connect with Remote Access Client E75.30, but 'connection failed' popup displayed straight away. There are couple of SKs about duplicate IP addresses etc.

Simply, Remote Access Clients E80.42 msi file (MSI) is the way to go.

It worked a treat.
