When running the command "build-ca", it crashes while invoking openssl.exe. Tried bumping up the KEY_SIZE to 2048 and then 4096 but no luck. I am running on Windows 7.
Appreciate any help in moving pass this error.

What error is it?
32 or 64 bit? SP1?

I had a problem similar to this. I had to include this command in my vars.bat file:
set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\openssl-1.0.0.cnf
I'm assuming you're running the latest version, which is 2.3.x
