It is the first time that I encounter this error. Yes there is: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/ManagingWindowsTAPDrivers> In particular check C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log. It contains installation logs for Windows drivers in general, not just tap-windows6. It generally gives a pretty good idea of the problem. It should not have any sensitive information in it so you can post the relevant lines here.
