Can´t generate the master Certificate Authority (CA)

Hi!

I am trying to make a tunnel between 3 computers (Windows Vista Home Basic) and to run a FileMaker10 application.

I installed OpenVPN but when I want to create the certificate & key (CA) by this procedure:

"If you are using Windows, open up a Command Prompt window and cd to \Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa. Run the following batch file to copy configuration files into place (this will overwrite any preexisting vars.bat and openssl.cnf files):

init-config"

Windows doesn´t find the files var.bat and openssl.cnf and answer:

copy vars.bat.sample vars.bat
Access denied...

and the same for openssl.cnf

What I can do to continue with the procedure?


Greetings and thanks a lot!

access denied... you may not have privileges to rename the files
if that's not it, re-download openvpn from www.openvpn.net/download
it does come with the needed files
