This is very good news :-) Have you been able to make this into a tap6 installer that we could throw at people that had issues getting the previous attempt to work on win10?

Wild idea: do we want to add a checkbox to the installer "submit version information to OpenVPN Headquarters" (opt-in, of course) so we can have a rough idea what people are actively using? > Our projected deadline for the next tap-windows6 release is June 20th.

This sounds like a good backup plan to get fixed drivers *out* for all supported platforms, and give us (=you :) ) time to wrestle with HLK/HCK/WLK... thanks, gert -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out.
