Setting Admin access on a shortcut from nsis is a pain -- some versions of windows work by just adding a registry entry, some do not etc. I have put up a test executable which will run as admin by default at https://s3.amazonaws.com/selva-temp/openvpn-gui.zip Could you please test it? The zip contains just one exec (64 bit GUI only) made from the latest sources. It will work only if a recent openvpn installation exists, but should run from any folder (assuming C:\ProgramFiles\OpenVPN\bin is in PATH). Do stop any GUI already running before testing. It is not signed so will complain of unknown publisher and is tested only on Windows 7. UAC prompt or prompt for admin password is a sign of admin access, but also test using a config that has to set routes. Thanks, Selva
