[Solved]Unable to uninstall OpenVPN Community Edition for Windows

Post by Simon_brodrick » Tue Mar 01, 2022 8:17 pm

After trying to uninstall Open VPN 2.5.5 using the uninstaller i get the following error:
https://prnt.sc/BPtWr31Ssx1r
after which the program rolls back and you end up with this screen:
https://prnt.sc/qyC_4AdkSFt-
I have tried manually deleting all the files, using 3rd party uninstallers but nothing works.
Can anyone help me to remove this?

I managed to fix the problem by deleting every single registry key on OpenVPN from the registry
