I just realized where the problem is for issue #3 in my original email: The following command has no effect if openvpn source code is not on the same drive as where WDK is installed (which is my case):
cd `perl install-win32/dosname.pl $t` On window's world, it needs to switch to particular drive first (E: in my case), and then change to the specified folder. One possible solution is to have another perl script to return drive letter (say, dosdrive.pl): `perl install-win32/dosdrive.pl $t` && cd `perl install-win32/dosname.pl $t` The rest of the command line will be the same. I will have not found tapinstall source code. Could someone point me to right place? Thanks.

Easy-RSA This would have enable users to build specific component without the other, or changing the installer without releasing a new version of core product.
