Hi,

To update on my mail below:
After starting the OpenVPN Gui I can open the log and it will show the OpenVPN 
version at the top of the log and the TAP version several lines lower.
So the most important information is there for the user to find and give to me. 
;-)

But, as per suggestion from Samuli, I will simply ask everyone who does not 
have version 2.3.5 yet to uninstall and reinstall.

Onderwerp: [Openvpn-users] finding openvpn version

Hi,

Because of what was written in the release info I decided it would be a good 
idea to find out which user is using which OLD version and maybe get everyone 
up to version 2.3.5 Just about all of my users are Windows users. A few are 
Linux users and some are Apple users. All Windows users have used the standard 
Windows installer to get the client on their system.

It is the Windows users that are the "least savy" and that I want to help. I 
want to make it as easy for them to find out which version they have and to 
upgrade if needed.
Even better if I can find that information from the OpenVPN server log.

The Windows installation has 3 version numbers, for the GUI, the underlying 
openvpn and the TAP driver.
The first two I know how to get the user to give me the info, but how about the 
TAP driver?
Can I find the GUI and the TAP version from the server log? (Probably not)

1)
Is there a 1:1 relation between the OpenVPN version and the TAP driver?

2)
If someone has OpenVPN 2.x.y (x<3), can I simply tell them to uninstall OpenVPN 
and install the latest 2.3.5 version and will they then have the latest TAP 
driver?
