Win 8.1 64bit TAP driver issues

Post by gazum123 » Thu Apr 10, 2014 12:58 pm

Hello All,

I am attempting to install the latest Open VPN client on a PC at work however when installing it seems to fail on the installation of the TAP device driver http://imgur.com/BgDmZGA

I have attached the log from tge setupapi.dev however I am not sure what is causing the issue or how to resolve it. Any help would be appereciated. The exit code from the log is lots of 0's then a 5
