client version: OpenVPN 2.2.0
client os: Windows XP SP2 client
server version: OpenVPN 2.1_rc9 i486-pc-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] built on Oct 14 2008
server os: ubuntu 8.04
Server starts.
Client ends with following log output on command line:
Wed Jul 06 22:24:27 2011 us=221000 TAP-Win32 Driver Version 9.4
Wed Jul 06 22:24:27 2011 us=221000 ERROR: This version of OpenVPN requires a TAP-Win32 driver that is at least version 9.8 -- If you recently upgraded your OpenVPN distribution, a reboot is probably required at this point to get Windows to see the new driver.
Wed Jul 06 22:24:27 2011 us=221000 Exiting
Same error if server+client are tcp or udp.
Looks to me like openvpn 2.2.0 is not correctly identifying the TAP driver version, which it installed itself.
Either that or somehow I stuffed up - any advice on how to test further appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Re: TAP-Win32 driver at least version 9.8 vs 9.00.00.8
What I ended up doing was uninstalling openvpn, and re-installing - although, I installed the latest version, since version 2.2.1 came out the day before I had another go at fixing it.
So I can't say whether it was simply uninstall and then reinstall, or if it was uninstalling and installing new version 2.2.1.
I had coLinux (andLinux) installed, and I disabled and removed the TAP (v8) virtual eth device for that.
I also had SecurePoint VPN installed and that had its own TAP driver installed - I uninstalled securepoint vpn as well.
So, some combination of the above is what did it.
The TAP driver has version 9.0.0.x, where x is 4 or 8 etc, and yet the error message talks about 9.4 or 9.8. So there's a bit of a grem in the system there somewhere.
Good luck
