For those of you that do not get this to work, you might have to do some additional stuff before rebooting in step 7. At least I did.
I had to remove the ndis.sys file after installing the VPN client and before rebooting. Then when you reboot Win 7 will repair this file and you are prompted to reboot once again and now it will work.
