Problem with vars.bat configuration

Mumomie

Hello,
I have a problem that I cannot resolve with the configuration of the vars file.
I am working with Windows Server and Openvpn-2.5.4-I604-amd64-msi installer file.

I copied the vars file from vars.example. I opened it using Notepad ++. As described, I only changed the part about key_country, key_province, key_city, key_org, ke. When I enter the vars command for vars.bat, the vars file is displayed on different lines.

I make mistakes but I don't see which ones. I absolutely need help. Thank you.

Thanks lot for you help.
Unfortunatly, this doesn't help me.

The only reason that it does not help you is because you are too lazy to read it.

Thanks for you remark.
I read a lot about how to install OpenVPN on Windows Server 2016 or Debian 10. I am a newbie. This kind of remark is a real nonsense.

vars.bat is only available in Easy-RSA-2
OpenVPN 2.5 only ships with Easy-RSA-3 NOT Easy-RSA-2
When installing Openvpn, you must use CUSTOM INSTALL to install Easy-RSA-3

Then, use:

C:\Program Files\Openvpn\easy-rsa\Easyrsa-Start.bat
./easyrsa

Please read the help, that is why it was written.
