Running the gui with elevated privileges fixes this issue. Shouldn't the installer have created this registry key?

The GUI need to run with elevated privileges anyway, because otherwise OpenVPN cannot install routes...

This will hopefully be fixed in 2.4 with the interactive service, we just
need to find time for Heiko to find the code and send it to us :-) (but
I've already seen it last year)

so I guess the installer needs to set up the OpenVPN GUI entries with the "Run as Administrator" bit set - the GUI does not fully function without it anyways
- cannot create reg keys
- cannot create log file when starting a connection
- cannot add routes to the system

All of which makes perfect sense when elevated privileges are not set - it's just that it would be handier if the installer created the OpenVPN-GUI.exe entries with the admin bit set, if at all possible.
