Looks like something accidentally left over from the beta installers.

MSI installer for openvpn 2.5 does not install service for automatic startup of vpn. I have had to revent to 2.4.10. I need this to work in 2.5. The only difference between the two is one installs with exe and the other MSI. The exe installed everything.

There is a new and better service with 2.5 ..
