Hi Josh, Thanks for reporting this! I added a bug report here:
<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/255> I got some other NSI fixes[1] in the queue, and will take care of this one also. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock [1] <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/249> <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/252> > The Windows installer for 2.3 (both 32 and 64-bit versions) no longer installs > the TAP-Win32 utility scripts by default (addtap.bat & deltapall.bat.) These > scripts are required for end-users to manage TAP adapters, and specifically to > install more than 1 adapter if use of multiple VPNs is required. > > These scripts used to be installed under the .\bin\ path in <=2.2.2. In 2.3.0 > this appears to have been logically split into a separate installer, > tap-windows.exe, which has its own installation directory. By default, this > installer does not install the optional "Utilities" feature, which causes > these 2 batch files to be missing. As this tap-windows component installation > is performed silently during OpenVPN installation, this option is never > presented to the user. > > According to the NSIS source[1], this flag should be passed to the embedded > tap-windows installer in recent versions of the build script. Looking at the > way the program call is made using Process Explorer (PE) using the 2.3.0 > release, the indicated line in the NSIS source doesn't match the 2.3.0 release > package. Compare that line with what PE shows during installation: > "C:\DOCUME~1\TestUser\LOCALS~1\Temp\tap-windows.exe" /S > > The source changes for the tap-windows project's own NSIS file[2] also appear > to have been changed recently enough (similar timeline to the openvpn-build > NSIS changes) that it may also need to be built from a recent source copy to > get the correct macro (SelectByParameter) support required to support the > /SELECT_UTILITIES feature flag. > > Unless I've missed something in the sources, it would appear the 2.3.0 build > lacks a recent enough version of the openvpn.nsis script. The solution should > be to re-package both installers with recent versions of the NSIS sources. > Expected results are both TAP-Win32 utility batch files installed by default > during a silent installation of tap-windows. > > [1] > https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build/blob/master/windows-nsis/openvpn.nsi#L243 > > [2] > https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows/blob/master/installer/tap-windows.nsi#L168 > > -- > Josh > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, > MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
