[mrjohn]

Hi
I've installed (as Admin) latest version of OpenVPN (2.4.7-I603) on Windows 2012 x64. I've checked on installer EasyRSA 2. Then trying to generate the certificate go in path ..\program files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\ open command prompt(as Admin) run

Code: Select all

init-config.bat

got :

1 file copied

then I run

Code: Select all

vars.bat

and got:

system was unable to find the specified registry key or value

thanks for any help

Did you edit vars.bat ?

Hi.
NO edit done.

system was unable to find the specified registry key or value

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"

[mrjohn]

reg key exists:

thanks

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.
