Installing the client only part of openvpn for windows

DarwinDuck

Hi there I want to know if it is possible to install only the client part of openvpn for windows clients.

The windows installer would install the full openvpn software along with the access client. It gives you the ability to select what you want to install. But which of the items should I deselect in order to just install the client gui that would let the client connect to an openvpn server.

So here are the components I can select from

OpenVPN User-Sapce Components
OpenVPN GUI
OpenVPN RSA Certificate Management Scripts
OpenVPN Service
OpenVPN File Associations
OpenSSL Dlls
Open SSL Utilities
PKCS#11 DLLs
LZO2DLLs
Microsoft Visual C 9.0 Runtime DLL
TAP Virtual Ethernet Adapter
Add OpenVPN to Path
Add Shortcuts to Start Menu

What I want is those componets that will just allow the gui for user to connect.
I will not be generating certs on these machines etc.

Thanks in advance. 🙂
