the warning

warning: can't open config file: c:\openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf .... ... ..

is an artifact of the openssl binaries that come with openvpn 2.2 ; you can ignore this warning

the warning

error on line 150 of openssl.cnf
2648:error:0e065068:configuration file routines:str_copy:variable has no value:.\crypto\conf\conf_def.c:610:line 150

suggests that you probably forgot to load the 'vars.bat' file first - see the HOWTO http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#pki for details.

I've edited my original post for clarity.

Before coming here to post I went through several attempts of trying to get this installed.
I ran vars.bat each time.

there are some issues with the openssl binaries shipped with openvpn 2.2 ; try adding the following lines to the vars.bat file

set KEY_OU=""
set KEY_CN=""
set KEY_NAME=""
set PKCS11_MODULE_PATH=dummy
set PKCS11_PIN=dummy

rerun 'vars' and then try again.

I am still getting the same error with the numbers 2320 in front.

janjust

please post the entire error message - it's the last part which is relevant, not the first ugly error codes.

I just ran it again and this is what it displayed after build-ca.

The system cannot find the path specified.
WARNING: can't open config file: C:\openssl/ssl/openssl.cnf

For some fields there will be a default value,

Country Name <2 letter code> [US]:

Is that working properly?

janjust

yes it is - either update the vars.bat file reflect the CA settings you want (country=..., state=.... etc) or overrule them here.
When the process asks you for a challenge password, just hit enter.
