When I try to connect to my work VPN using OpenVPN, the connection fails with the message:
Many sources suggest to look in Control PanelNetwork and InternetNetwork Connections an enable the TAP adapter, but when I look there, there is none. Now I've run
addtap.bat
Basic quicken free. which is provided with OpenVPN, but I still don't get to see any TAP adapter, and logging in in VPN still fails. The output of addtap.bat isI've Run As Administrator both the setup of OpenVPN and
addtap.bat
. I've run deltapall.bat
to remove any (maybe hidden) adapters. It said it removed three of them, after which I ran addtap.bat
again to try to create another one.I also run OpenVPN itself as administrator. What's wrong?Running Windows 7 Home Premium on a HP Pavilion dv7 4050ed. It has worked before, but I recently had to reinstall my laptop, for which I used the restore disks I created when I just got it. Everything else seems to work fine.
UPDATE
The TAP adapter is found in Device Manager, but apparently it is disabled because it is incompatible with Windows 7 64bit. I've deïnstalled OpenVPNGui, downloaded a version that should be 64bit compatible, and installed that. Still no cigar. Then I found a tip to install OpenVPN (version 9) after installing OpenVPNGui, because that installs OpenVPN version 8. Now I got a v9 TAP driver in Device Manager, but it still doesn't work and shows up in device manager with an exclamation mark, and not at all in my network devices.

I was experiencing the same problem. What worked for me is to install the latest version of the OpenVPN GUI (openvpn-2.0.9-gui-1.0.3-install), reboot, stop OpenVPN, then install the latest version of just OpenVPN (openvpn-2.1.3-install) over the top of the original install. Make sure to do these installs with administrative rights.

I forgot about this question, but I actually managed to get it working shortly after I posted it. I've installed OpenVPN various times and always with administrator rights, but it wouldn't work.

After a day of messing around I gave up, but tried again a couple of days later. That time I found a source stating that the latest OpenVPN could give trouble, so I installed an earlier version (still in the 2. range). That apparently did the trick.
