I received a report on IRC that "openvpn-install-2.3.10-I003-i686.exe"
installer fails on Windows XP 32-bit with

Can anyone else reproduce the above problem on Windows XP?
Yes. Happens on my XP VM too.
(It first refuses to run at all due to "unknown signature", but that is
easily fixed by right-clicking and permitting execution, but then this
error message shows up)
The openvpn-build commit that made this error possible was 65e328c:
<https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build/commit/65e328c89182c47d1a93398e04ca92199bf17af3>
However, as it states in the commit log the code path was tested before
merging it.
Was it ever tested on Win XP? Seems the branch "has_tap_windows:" isn't
taken...
From mailing list archives:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/11187/focus=11188>
So "I60x on XP" _was_ tested, but "I00x on XP" was not. Staring at the
NSIS code tells me that "it should work", but I need to do more testing
and then release a fixed installer.
