Hi,
I've produced two test installers based OpenVPN 2.3.9 plus an
OpenVPN-GUI which requests highest possible privileges of the user,
instead of launching as the invoking user:
<https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/pull/6>
The above patch should allow users with administrator privileges to
launch OpenVPN-GUI without having to "Run as administrator" separately.
It should also allow use of OpenVPN-GUI without having full admin rights
- it is enough to have whatever OpenVPN/OpenVPN-GUI needs to function
properly. A much more detailed description is available beyond the above
link.
The test installers are here:
<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/openvpn-install-2.3.9-I901-i686.exe>
<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/openvpn-install-2.3.9-I901-x86_64.exe>
Let me know if the installers work correctly - or don't. I'd like to
merge this functionality into OpenVPN 2.3.10 which is due early next
week. If that deadline passes, I will release new Windows installers
with this patch a bit later.
