Hello, When running the openvpn 2.1.2 installer on Windows 7 (x64) I noticed this error: http://pasik.reaktio.net/openvpn212-setup-error-opening-file-for-writing.jpg
ie. the installer cannot overwrite the existing files from openvpn 2.1.1 installation. I get that error for the following files: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui-1.0.3.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\bin\libeay32.dll And after finishing the installation windows "Program Combatibility Assistant" pops up, and asks if the program installed correctly, or if I wanted to "Reinstall using recommended settings". http://pasik.reaktio.net/openvpn212-setup-might-not-have-installed-correctly.jpg I chose it installed OK and then rebooted the machine. After reboot I noticed the TAP network device is missing from Windows, and thus openvpn connections cannot be started.. Running the "Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter" doesn't seem to work either.. -- Pasi On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 04:27:06PM -0600, James Yonan wrote: > 2010.08.09 -- Version 2.1.2 > > * Windows security issue: > Fixed potential local privilege escalation vulnerability in > Windows service.
