*UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE*
1.) download the latest RC version from Openvpn.net.
2) Create a shortcut to your OpenVPN GUI file. Right click the shortcut and click properties.
Under the ‘Shortcut’ tab.
Click ‘advanced’.
Check the box that says ‘Run as administrator’ and
then Click ‘OK’ and ‘OK’ again.
3. *opitonal* turn off UAC and step two is not needed.
This gets openvpn to work under vista 32 and 64 bit.

[...] Emmanuel Computer Consulting, L.L.C. Blog Archive How to get OpenVPN GUI client and Windows Vista to… uninstall openvpn..reboot..then follow the instructions here for reinstallation. I prefer removing UAC then you don't have to do the admin installation shuffle but it's up to you.. If this doesn't work then there's something else wrong. __________________ 50 user home license:ASL 7.5x p-4 celey 2.53 2 gigs ram 80 gig hdd intel/3com nics 50 user home license:ASL 7.5x p-4 xeon 2.8 ghz HT, 2 gigs ram, 250 gig HDD, 2 x Intel gig-e, 3com 3c905B Registered Microsoft Partner Emmanuel Computer Consulting, L.L.C. http://www.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com [...]
