Certificate Creation Errors: build-ca

[drezabek94]

I was editing vars.bat when I think that I broke my windows install somehow :\ It was working fine, but something I did to vars.bat (sorry I don't have what it was before) corrupted something...
After I run vars.bat and clean-all.bat, it changes the directory from "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\easy-rsa" to "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa". It didn't do that before. Here is a log of the CMD window (ran as admin) after a fresh restart of windows and install of OpenVPN:

I am on Windows 7 64-bit. Can anybody help?

hi there,

if you check vars.bat you see:

>set HOME=%ProgramFiles%\OpenVPN\easy-rsa

check that the variable %ProgramFiles% points to the right location

you could easily override it ,by setting it your self inside vars.bat

cheers,

michael

EDIT:
Looks like that was the problem... does anyone know how to change the %ProgramFiles% part back to the x86 dir? I don't understand how that happened in the first place.

so maikcat thanks for the help! I must have overlooked that.
