OpenVPN 2.2.2 and Windows 8 incompatible

I am using OpenVPN v2.2.2 client and Windows 8 Pro (x64).

Although I am able to connect to one of the gateways specified in the config files, OpenVPN is NOT able to write to the gateway's log. I found out later that Windows 8 has a security feature that prevents applications from writing to files in the C: drive where the Microsoft OS also resides.

Is there a workaround?
