Yes this has nothing to do with openvpnserviceinteractive. Just make sure
sc query openvpnserviceinteractive
shows the service is running.
Even if the service its running it will not get used if you start the GUI
as admin which appears to be forced in your case. The reason for UAC prompt
is most likely what Gert mentioned in a previous email: the GUI executable
or shortcut is set to run as admin. Probably customized by the user when
2.3 was in use. To fix this look at the properties of both openvpn-gui.exe
and its shortcut for any "run as admin" flags and uncheck if enabled. This
can occur at a couple of places: see Trac #811 for more details (
