Error Installing V1/WR when Gabriel is installed

Applies to: VirnetX One on Windows or macOS, VirnetX War Room on Windows or macOS

When Gabriel is installed on a user's desktop, installation of newer VirnetX products will be blocked. To bypass installation restrictions when Gabriel is also installed, follow these instructions:

On Windows:

  • Create a new empty file named "allowVX1.txt" and save it to your ".gabriel" directory. For example "C:\Users\john\.gabriel\allowVX1.txt"
  • Retry Installation


On macOS:

  • Create a new empty text file named "allowVX1.txt" and save it to your ".gabriel" directory. For example "/Users/john/.gabriel/allowVX1.txt"
  • Retry Installation
  • Open the "HKCU_registry.ini" file for editing. This file is found in your ".gabriel" directory. For example "/Users/john/.gabriel/HKCU_registry.ini"
  • Change "UseVirtualAdapter=0" --> "UseVirtualAdapter=1"
  • Restart Gabriel
  • Retry Installation
