Hi,

I have successfully installed and am currently using this driver
on Windows 10 fully upto date.

Aside from the usual windblows crap (new layers of BS between *Programs and Features and Network Connections .. you know what I mean) the
installation went smoothly.

However, some issues encountered:

* On first running my normal (unchanged) server config, openvpn bombed
out with "Cannot retrieve password" .. on second run the error was gone.
Tried uninstall/reinstall TAP driver and the same error did NOT occur.

* During install Windows asked "If i wanted to trust openvpn inc .."
to which I replied NO.  On the second install Windows did NOT ask "if
I wanted to trust openvpn inc." .. I don't know what that means ..
Perhaps, the install cert was installed anyway ?

HTH

Hi,

We're bundling a tap-windows6 driver (9.21.3) with OpenVPN 2.4.6 that is
due later this week:

https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/tap-windows-9.21.3-I601.exe

The main difference to the old driver (9.21.2) is that the driver and
installer have only a SHA2 Authenticode signature[*]. This means that
Windows Vista should refuse to install the driver. Some outdated Windows
7 installations might behave the same. This is intentional on our part,
as Vista is EOL and we don't want to support Windows 7 installations
that are horribly outdated.

I've tested installing this driver on Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) and Windows
2012r2 (64-bit) and I did not encounter any installation issues.
However, I do not have access to Windows 8 or Windows 10, nor to 32-bit
platforms.

I would appreciate somebody could do additional driver installation
tests. This would help build confidence in the driver before we push it
out. Verifying that the driver installs fine is enough.
