Just to wrap up some a few loose ends: the 10,042-byte tap0901.cat file from the DriverStore... directory _does_ seem to have the unwanted "OpenVPN, Inc." signature: ===== $ ls -l failed_DriverStore_oemvista.inf_amd64_6d4bec28a2ef0cdf_tap0901.cat -rw-rw-r-- 1 nathanst nathanst 10042 Apr 3 16:22 failed_DriverStore_oemvista.inf_amd64_6d4bec28a2ef0cdf_tap0901.cat $ sha1sum failed_DriverStore_oemvista.inf_amd64_6d4bec28a2ef0cdf_tap0901.cat d99e38968de1ca1850971a2b81bfdab49626aaed failed_DriverStore_oemvista.inf_amd64_6d4bec28a2ef0cdf_tap0901.cat $ strings failed_DriverStore_oemvista.inf_amd64_6d4bec28a2ef0cdf_tap0901.cat | grep "OpenVPN\|Code Sign" "DigiCert EV Code Signing CA (SHA2)0 OpenVPN Inc.1 OpenVPN Inc.0 "DigiCert EV Code Signing CA (SHA2)0 "DigiCert EV Code Signing CA (SHA2) ===== As I mentioned in the previous email, the emvista.inf_amd64_6d4bec28a2ef0cdf has a timestamp which coincides with the moment that the OpenVPN installer was being run. However, I noticed that the oem43.inf file does have an earlier timestamp: ===== Directory of c:\windows\inf 03/26/2020 04:03 PM 7,537 oem43.inf 03/27/2020 11:09 AM 8,828 oem43.PNF ===== ... though weirdly Windows on that box was reinstalled in the _morning_ of 3/26, and 16:03 doesn't correspond to any entries at all in the setupapi.dev.log file (which jumps from 2020/03/26 12:30:18 in one entry to 2020/03/27 07:50:45 in the next). So it doesn't quite seem like oem43.inf would have been created during the initial reinstall of Windows, but I also don't know what would have created it later that day... The c:\windows\inf\oem43.inf file is identical to the one in C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver: ===== $ sha1sum failed_windows-inf_oem43.inf failed_program-files_OemVista.inf d85f4e65fe10f13ded1780ddbd074edfc75f2d25 failed_windows-inf_oem43.inf d85f4e65fe10f13ded1780ddbd074edfc75f2d25 failed_program-files_OemVista.inf ===== ... but I suppose that might just indicate that the Win7 and Win10 versions of that file are identical (if in fact the \windows\inf\ copy came from the Win7 drivers somehow).
