I am evaluating OpenVPN for a large project that may connect 1000+ users to a server.
I just downloaded 2.2.1 to install on a Windows 7 laptop for testing. The installer reports "Can't write: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\bin\libeay32.dll" That is not a typo, the file name is reported as libeay32.dll.
I redid the down load and ran a second try with the same result.
I attempted to install 2.0.9 with the GUI but W7-64 requires signed drivers, so that install also fails.

I downloaded 2.2.1 to an old XP laptop and installed. It appears to be correctly installed, displays the logo in the tray but does not actually display or open a window. I do not have any profiles defined at this time. I did another download on the W7 laptop and attempted the install with the error described above.
BTW: The How To on Installation seems to be out of date by a few releases.
Any suggestions?

Try creating a folder in C:\Users\Username\OpenVPN and installing there.

George, thank you. That works. How do you get there from the error?

Windows 7 UAC, (user account control), is really picky about which parts of the file system you can write to, I encountered this in our environment, when we began migrating from XP to 7.
