You must include openssl.exe in your PATH environment variable.

The simple way to do this is re-install openvpn correctly.

I keep running into this on every new server I build. I don't know how much more correct I can get, I selected "open SSL" check box on the GUI installer and this happens every time. What further is necessary?

Seems I was doing it to myself.

Per this discussion I realized that is set in the vars.bat. I was carrying with me an older vars.bat with most things in the bottom set section already filled out.

Ahh hah ! Well spotted.

EasyRSA on Windows has recently (See post date) received quite a lot of new support :geek:
