Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out please, I have been trying to install a virtual adapter, running openvpn as admin ofc, but the following error keeps happening when I try to install, could anybody please give me a solution to my problem?

Many thanks in advance.

others have reported the same problem, but I've never seen a real solution.
which version of openvpn are you trying to install? Please download and try the latest version (2.2.1 at the time of this writing).

That error seems to be about incompatible or old driver version.

How do you run the batch as administrator? On Vista/7 running batch commands (.bat) with right click -> Run as administrator, does not really run that script as administrator. To realy run as administrator press Win-key or Start-menu, type "cmd", when "cmd" appears on list and is sellected hold down Ctrl and Shift and press enter, or press on it with right click and Run as administrator. In opened shell "cd" to the folder where .bat file is located and run it from shell window.
