Ah, right, thanks. (I did see your earlier message but missed the
specific mention in there about the Win7 installer running under Win10.)
Given that, it seems pretty likely that the explanation for our
situation was a combination of running the wrong OpenVPN installer
the first time, then assuming that the "factory reset" would completely
blow away all of the existing Windows installation when in fact parts
were preserved across the reset.
Anyway, (Samuli) would it be possible for the OpenVPN installer to
double-check that it was running in the correct evironment before
proceeding with the installation? That would presumably have avoided
the broken driver situation in the first place (in our case, at least).
(Separately, the previously-discussed tweaks to the .inf file so that
Windows actually replaces an incorrect driver with the correct one would
be useful to get out of the situation, however one originally into it.)
