Hi Jan,

Currently the installer does not currently create or update the
OpenVPN-GUI registry keys. This is primarily for historic reasons -
OpenVPN-GUI has never had it's own installer, so it sets up it's own
environment during first startup (as admin).

I've written a separate NSI installer script for OpenVPN-GUI[*], which
will take care of updating the keys as necessary. The plan is to include
the OpenVPN-GUI installer in OpenVPN 2.4 installers only to avoid
introducing installers bugs in our stable releases.

In my opinion the registry key generation should be removed from
OpenVPN-GUI when the installer is fully functional, tested and
integrated with OpenVPN.

Samuli

[*] The NSI script should be in openvpn-gui Git repository
