The system cannot find the file specified.

hi there,
what windows version + openvpn version are you using?
you can always edit vars.bat and see what is trying to do...

the following vars need to be set in vars.bat :
- KEY_DIR
KEY_SIZE
KEY_COUNTRY
KEY_PROVINCE
KEY_CITY
KEY_ORG
KEY_EMAIL
KEY_OU
KEY_CN
KEY_NAME
PKCS11_MODULE_PATH
PKCS11_PIN
some of them are set by the scripts, but it won't hurt to set all of these in vars.bat either; this is DOS, so use
Using "set KEY_NAME=" has the effect of UNsetting the variable.

the challenge password is optional and in 99% of the cases you won't need one - just hit enter.

if build-ca and build-key-server reported no error
go ahead and create configs and client keys.

you must create openvpn server configuration file....
for more info please read howto docs from openvpn.net site (documentation)
Michael.
ps: first think what exactly you want to do (client to lan , lan-to-lan , bridging..)
