This can also happen if you run the GUI with admin privs (because then
it will not use the iservice *but* openvpn needs *more* privs than
"just administrator", and wintun can not be used at all).

Not that I'm aware.  This looks more like "iservice not being used due
to admin privs when running the GUI".

You can crosscheck this fairly easy - if wintun does not work with the
message above, try running with the old tun/tap driver.  If that works,
and you see successful "netsh" commands in the log to set up routing, you 
are running with admin privs.
