[resolved] Windows 7 machine will not connect

[atrevido43]

I've been able to log in with another win7 machine with no problem, but cannot get the 2nd to work.
I've put our openvpn certificate in the c:\program files x86\openvpn\config folder along with out .ovpn file

I'm getting this error

Where did you put ca.cert file? Where it points in config file? Do the ca.cert file have enough access privileges?

[maikcat]

also post client config and the location where the certs are.

I figured it out. The ca.cert file had 2 extra characters at the end. It was emailed to me, the first email download I did was fine on windows 7 machine 1, the 2nd for some reason insserted 2 characters at the end. I removed them and it works well.

Just a note - you must launch openvpn as an administrator on win7 or it will not work
or perhaps if the user was assigned permissions on the openvpn folder and sub-folders that would work but I've not tried that.
I just launch it as administrator

Thanks for your help
