Problems on Windows 10

Post by vinicius.vianna » Thu Feb 04, 2016 7:31 pm

Hi everyone

I got some problems with OpenVPN Client on Windows 10.

First of all, I try to execute openvpn-gui and got this message:

Windows can't access the device, path or specified file. Maybe you don't have the right permissions to access the item.

Fine. So I tried to remove the software and make a new fresh install. But when I execute the installation, I got the same message.

Some steps that I tried to:

- Install on a new profile (Worked, but when i reboot the machine I got the same message again);
- Run as Admin (the same error message).

The curious thing is that was working fine, and I didn't upgraded anything in Windows.

PS. I don't use Anti Virus, witch could block too.

Someone got the same problem?
Thanks everyone that could help me... and sorry about the bad English!

Hello Vinicius,
I have a same problem over Windows 7 and 8.1. I believe this happened after windows update, but I have not tested a system restore. :(

You may have to completely re-install openvpn ..

Please see this article:

Make sure you remove all openvpn registry keys after uninstall.
