getting errors when running build-ca

[said76]

Hi,

I was trying to set up openVPN on my old Windows XP SP3 32bit for the first time. The one I downloaded and installed is openvpn-install-2.3.2-I003-i686.exe.

After executing the following commands:
run cd "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa"
run init-config
modified vars.bat via notepad
then, run vars
run clean-all
run build-ca

I received the following error:
error on line -1 of openssl-1.0.0.cnf
3556:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:.\crypto\bio\
bss_file.c:122:fopen('openssl-1.0.0.cnf','rb')
3556:error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file:.\crypto\bio\bss_file
.c:125:
3556:error:0E078072:configuration file routines:DEF_LOAD:no such file:.\crypto\c
onf\conf_def.c:197:

I'm not sure if this is to do with the fact that I don't have openssl installed on my system or something else.
I also went to download and installed openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32. Then, I wonder what to do next.

I was hoping if anyone might be able to help enlighten me.

Many thanks

AFAIK openssl was removed from openvpn installer package...

how about installing an older version? (2.1.4 maybe)
