Have you actually seen this fail *in openvpn's log*, or have you tried
the command show in the log in cmd.exe, and seen it fail there?
The openvpn argv_printf/execve mechanics is... magic, so the interface
name ends up in its own argv[] parameter towards netsh.exe, and quotes
are not(!) needed - to the contrary, if you add quotes there, they become
part of the interface name, and netsh will complain. Copy-pasting the
command from the log to cmd.exe will not work, as cmd.exe would indeed
need the quotes.
I've just checked the code - while I never used "ip-win32 netsh", I did
the netsh calls for IPv6 routing, and they do not quotes either - and
work great for interface names with blanks in them (my test system uses
"My Tap Adapter").
