  1. Uninstall Juniper or Junos software from Control Panel > Programs and Features; remove all instances of the app.
  2. Delete Juniper and / or Pulse folders from
    C:\Program Files x86\
    C:\Program Files x86\CommonFiles\
    C:\Users\Public
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\
    C:\ProgramData\
  3. Delete JuniperSetupControl from Start >Control Panel > Internet Options > General > Settings > View Objects
  4. Remove the Juniper Networks Virtual Adapter from Device Manager, click View on top > Select Show Hidden Devices > Go to the Network Adapter and remove Juniper Networks Virtual Adapter
  5. Delete the Juniper / Pulse keys  from the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Juniper Networks
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pulse
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Juniper Networks
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Pulse
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\dsNcApt
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\dsNcService
  6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion the value ‘DevicePath’ should point to ‘%SystemRoot%\inf’.
  7. Open a command line “as Administrator”, run “pnputil -e > pnplist.txt”, find everything in there that has the name JUNIPER or PULSE in it, then run “pnputil -d oemXX.inf” for each entry, where “XX” is the actual number of the entry.
  8. Restart the machine.
  9. Download and install Juniper Setup Client (I get these MSIs directly from the vendor).
  10. Manually install NCINST64.EXE and check to ensure that it is running on the PC’s SERVICES.  If it is not running, it likely will not start, and if you try to VPN in you will likely see error 23787. 14. Manually install the Pulse Installer Service.
  11. Launch Pulse, set up profile, and try logging in.
