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.
