This Windows XP installer is signed with the new SHA2 code-signing 
certificate:

<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots/openvpn-install-2.3.12-I001-winxp-sha2-test-i686.exe>

If a fully-patched Windows XP understands SHA2 Authenticode signatures 
then it should not show "Unknown publisher" in "File properties" dialog 
for the installer, executables or libraries. The tap-windows driver is 
still signed with the old key, so that cannot be used to validate the 
signature.

Does anyone have a fully-patched Windows XP system to test the above 
installer on?

[*] This may not be exactly true, because even Windows 7 can show 
"Unknown publisher" here, even if the signature is perfectly valid.
