FYI: It doesn't work for me, either (on Windows 8.1). I installed 3.1.06073 and I got the symptoms described by Graham when I first tried to configure the VPN client (by entering ucbvpn.berkeley.edu and hitting "Connect"). Then, I uninstalled 06073 and installed 05182 (figuring that was supposed to be the "currently supported" version). But I got the same results, even after doing the "Windows 8 Compatibility Mode" procedure, both for *vpnui.exe* and also *vpnagent.exe*.
I hadn't installed the VPN client at all on this system before the recent Windows updates, so I can't say whether there's any correlation between the updates and the problem, for me.
