OpenVPN Support Forum

Having this issue, have tried everything. Forum ate my first (very detailed) post. Can't change permissions for rundll32.exe as administrator on my win7 home premium 64 bit and can't find out how to.

I believe it is a permissions issue (might be wrong) as the relevant events I found in Process Monitor show 'Result: NAME NOT FOUND' and 'Description: Denied Access: Read Attributes' (have an image or more info if required).

Help please! Thank you!

The problem for me was with Win 7 64bit trying to handle the security certificate during the installation of the Tap driver.

The installation program wasn't able to access Rundll32.exe to verify the security certificate.

What I did is whent to C:\Windows\System32\Rundll32.exe Right-click-Properties, click Security Tab and create a permission to access the file. Note that I do this from the administrator account.

Install OpenVpn and I hope it works for you too.

Hello,

Can-you explain exactly which permission do-you have added into security tab ?
