After some efforts to get OpenVPN working on the PC with Win7, i need some help.

Re: Mistakenly installed Win10 OpenVPN on Windows7
Uninstall OpenVPN
i used this command.
After that i reinstall the file:
openvpn-install-2.4.7-I607-Win7.exe
without problems.
So i restarted the Win7 PC, and try again to use the OpenVPN GUI,
that ask me Username and Password, but after give the correct user and pwd i get the
following error in the log:

The GUI prompted me to enter again username and pwd, i do it (correctly) but with the same result.
I repeated the above process, more times, but there is no way to get OpenVPN working on my Win7 Ultimate laptop.
The mistake was mine, (install the Win10 version) but theer is no way to roll back the situation ?
Thank you

Re: Mistakenly installed Win10 OpenVPN on Windows7
Without any explanation for me,
after writing by hand username and password, on the login window, over the proposed ones,
i succesfully open the VPN connection.
This the resulting log:
