cannot install OpenVPN 2.3.3-I002-x86_64

bert

System : WIN7 - 64 (up2date)
AV : Kaspersky pure & Malwarebytes premium
Could not install OpenVPN 2.3.3-I002-x86_64 (without or without admin rights). It hanged right at the beginning. Could not kill the install process either. I tried stopping then removing the AV software, did not change a thing. I scrubbed the rep, the registry, did not install either. I was able to install in safe mode, but when I tried to open openvpn giu, same problem : it hanged.
I was not able to remove the software, I had to go back to safe mode to uninstall.
I have been using openvpn for quite some time, first time something like that happens.

Spent 4 hours on the issue (same problem with 2.3.2), could not find a solution. I was able install openvpn-install-2.3.1-I001-x86_64 without problem. Went back to that version.
I wonder what is wrong, please, if you had the same issue and found a solution, I would appreciate if you could post it here. Thanks in advance.

Was also able to install the 2013 2.3.2 version without any issue...
Obviously the issue is coming from the new 2014 post heartbleed build (?)

I'm having exactly the same issues. All TAP drivers have been removed. In safe mode I can install but OpenVPN does not run in normal mode (hangs)
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit.
AV: Avast Free Anitivirus 2014 + MalwareBytes Premium.

The problem seems to have something to do with Malwarebytes. I uninstalled Malwarebytes and then tried to install OpenVPN and it went right through.

You're right. MalwareBytes has now fixed this problem in their latest release 2.0.2 (released on May 20th, 2014)

I also tried to install OpenVPN2.3-1002-x86_64 but could not be install. Then I tried to install Malwarebytes for security purposes but after installation, malwarebytes web protection won't start . I thought it could be happen for the system update problem and also updated the system but could not solve the problem.
