Openvpn Tap Driver
error message: "An error occured installing tap device driver" I've looked at bu report #266, and tried a few things: replace devcon.exe with the 64 bit version from http://www.ryanvictory.com/posts/automating-6to4-adapter-removal-in-windows/ uninstall the all thing
An Error Occurred Installing The Tap-win32 Device Driver
and reinstall a 32 bit version uninstall and install an older version 2.3.2 install the standalone tap-windows-9.9.2_3 All gave me the exact same error. Also, calling the addtap.bat script in admin mode give me the following error: C:\Windows\system32>rem Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin\devcon.exe" install "C:\Pr ogram Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemWin2k.inf" tap0901 Device node created.

But it's not clear from this report this is really an issue or if there is a workaround. Anyone has a clear, comprehensive, working solution or workaround ?

The search engine is https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/393 useless to me because every search string is "too common". I tried installing Astrill 2.2.0 build 1829 and it will not work on OpenVPN mode. So far, even their senior techs are baffled. I then tried installing http://openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.1.1-install.exe due to the instructions athttps://members.astrill.com/knowledgeba ... icle&id=14But I still get "An error occurred installing the TAP device driver." and no joy.The senior Astrill tech tried installing a new version https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=7663 of OpenVPN, but had the same result. I have 2 different mfgr laptops, 1 yr old, running Win7 64bit and firefox, both up dated. Sorry that I have certainly made mistakes, but I tried to do the best i can.
