I don't know the technical reasons why Windows hdwwiz does not install the TAP driver correctly but I presume you are aware of the TAP Windows Menu Items: Add new TAP & Remove All TAP drivers .. ?

of course i know that , but it used to work with hdwwiz too 🙂
so what's changed ? is it windows issue ? is it driver issue ?
