Thanks for the response.

Yeah, that's where I'd looked (and vpnc's vpnc-script-win.js, since
OpenConnect is designed to spawn an identical vpnc-script with identical
environment variables rather than reinventing that particular wheel).

There isn't a problem with the command line. If I change 'Local Area
Connection 3' to 'Local Area Connection 4', the same command line works.

If I change it to a name that doesn't exist, I get a relatively sane
error. If I change it in other ways to break it, I get other errors that
make at least a little bit of sense. But the command that *should* work,
on just the *first* interface that was created, is failing with 'Element
not found'.

On a Linux system I'd be able to work out what was happening and fix the
issue. but with Windows I'm stuck. I know Windows tends to be horribly
unreliable like this — if it's just an unlucky coincidence that it
happened on the first Windows system on which I was testing my nascent
OpenConnect Windows support, I can live with that. I just wanted to
check whether it was something that other people were seeing.

Right. These just have the default names. I have yet to contemplate the
true horror of the Windows so-called "Unicode" support.

(And speaking of character set support, are you aware you're replying in
the us-ascii charset, so the U+2014 emdash in my original mail turned
into three question marks in your citation?)
