route command path

Post by gkakaron » Sun Nov 14, 2010 8:08 am

Hi,

I had to install windows 7 on e:\ instead of c:\ (don't ask why).

When I run the OpenVPN client it says that it can't find c:\windows\system32\route command. Route exists of course in e:\windows\system32 (not in c:).

I copied the command to my USB flash drive (which gets the C: drive letter when connected) after creating the c:\windows\system32 directory and OpenVPN worked just fine. I can run OpenVPN if I have my USB connected with this trick. Is there another workaround for this absolute path problem?

Thanks
George

win-sys path|'e:\'

??

I've never had to use it, but got it from the manual (I could say RTFM, but that wouldn't help anyone ;-)

Hi Simon,

Thanks for helping. This worked fine for the command line. Does anyone know where to put the option for the OpenVPN gui. I had a look at the openvpn gui options (http://openvpn.se/install.txt) but it seems that I can only specify where the openvpn.exe is but without providing options to it.

Thanks
George

please fully ignore openvpn.se, it is old and out-dated

http://openvpn.net/INSTALL-win32.html

there are registry entries for that stuff
