I've now installed 2.2.2 again. I should note that I successfully installed 2.3.0 on top of 2.2.2 on another box (which also runs 64-bit Windows 7), using the same custom path, although I'm only using the service there (i.e. no UI). comment:4 Changed 4 years ago by d12fk Run the GUI as Administrator once. It will be able to create the keys then. @mattock: the installer should create the GUI keys during installation. comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by djc You mean the actual Administrator? I was running it as a user with Admin privs. comment:6 Changed 4 years ago by d12fk Yes, the admin group alone won't do the trick as long as you have UAC enabled. comment:7 Changed 4 years ago by samuli This is somewhat related to ticket #249. I'll fix both in one go. commen
different path breaks it Question I installed openvpn to a wrong folder, then I reinstalled and installed it to openvpn gui createprocess failed the correct folder. Now I'm getting: CreateProcess openvpn config file failed, exe=’D:\Lukas\Apps\personalVPN\bin\openvpn.exe’ cmdline=’openvpn—version’ dir=’D:\Lukas\Apps\personalVPN\bin’ How can that be fixed? Answer error creating hklm software openvpn-gui key windows 10 This happens because OpenVPN-GUI adds it's registry keys when it launches the first time (as an https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/252 administrator) but never ever validates or changes them again. Basically OpenVPN-GUI is looking for openvpn.exe from the old location and gets confused. In the upcoming 2.4 releases this problem will be fixed, as openvpn-gui https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/openvpn-gui-reinstall-to-different-path-breaks-it has it's own installer which should do a pretty good job at automatically sorting out this kind of problems. For now you can fix this by either removing OpenVPN-GUI's registry keys (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OpenVPN-GUI) and running OpenVPN-GUI (as an admin), or by changing the value of the registry key which tells OpenVPN-GUI where to look for openvpn.exe.

open the TAP device. This means that openvpn.exe must be executed with administrator privileges. In many situations it's un recommended to do your day-to-day work logged on with an administrator account. Especially corporate environments often have a policy that users should never have http://openvpn.se/files/howto/openvpn-howto_run_openvpn_as_nonadmin.html administrator rights even on their local machine. Fortunately there are a few ways to work http://www.inklineglobal.com/processdll/thirdparty-openvpn-gui.html around this so OpenVPN can be used even in these environments. Here I present you with two ways to run OpenVPN / OpenVPN GUI as a non-admin user: 1) Use the OpenVPN Service Included in the OpenVPN / OpenVPN GUI installation package there is a small service wrapper for OpenVPN. This service simply starts all configuration files it error creating finds in the OpenVPN\config folder. If you want your OpenVPN tunnel to always be up, regardless of whether you are logged on or not, you can simply configure the OpenVPN Service to start automatically at boot-time. However it might be more convenient to be able to start and stop the tunnel when you want, which you can do by starting and stopping the service. For more information about the OpenVPN Service see the "Running error creating hklm OpenVPN as a Windows Service" section in INSTALL-win32. The major disadvantage with this method is that there is no way to supply the OpenVPN Service with the password used to encrypt your private key. This means that you must use an un-encrypted private key when using this method. A way to get around the problem with having your private key lying unprotected on your hard drive is to import it to the MS Certificate Store and use the --cryptoapicert option to load it. Remember that the service is running as "Local System" (by default) so you must import the key/cert into the System account, not your user account. (There is work in progress to allow OpenVPN to access also user account key/cert's). To load a key/cert into the System accounts CertStore you must use the Certificates MMC Snap-In, not Internet Explorer. Give a normal user right to control the OpenVPN Service Normally starting and stopping a service requires administrator privileges, but you can assign a normal user the right to control an individual service. You do this with the subinacl.exe utility included in the Windows Resource Kit. You can also download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en To give the user "John" the right to start and stop the OpenVPN service, log on as administrator and run the following command: subinacl /SERVICE "Op
