Which must be caused by this in vars.bat
Code: Select all
rem Automatically set PATH to openssl.exe
FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%a IN ('REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN"') DO set "PATH=%PATH%;%%b\bin"

Even though you strategically cut off the actual data portion of the keys, I can see that you have used a
non-standard directory for openvpn .. maybe that is why.
