I actually managed to get it figured out now.
I did multiple reinstalls making sure that I selected to have the
openvpn service installed. None of that seemed to work.
I finally went into the properties of that service and specified a user
and password to use to run the service. Then it worked! The user I chose
is the same one I am logged in as. Is that a bug of some kind? Why
should I have to do that?
This is not normal and we have not heard of this before. Normally
OpenVPNService runs just fine with admin privileges and does not require
defining any credentials.
To me it seems like some Windows setting or possibly some security
software is interfering with normal function of OpenVPNService and what
you did allowed working around the issue.

Thanks!

Hi,
Check whether openvpnservice is installed by running the following
from a command line
sc query OpenVPNService
It will show whether the service exists and its current state. If
installed but nor running open services and change the startup to
automatic and start.
If not installed, you may have to uninstall openvpn and re-install it.
Select custom install and make sure OpenVPN service is selected.
It seems the msi installer has some weird logic in selecting when to
install the service (so-called automatic service) and when to set it
to auto start. The interactive service used by the GUI is installed by
default.

Hello all!
I am setting up an OpenVPN server on a windows server for a
client, but ran into the problem where the openvpn service in
services doesn’t pick up the config files I placed into the
C:\Program Files\Openvpn\config folder.
I can start the server from the command line just fine and also
from the openvpn-gui client, but when I start the openvpn service
in services, the service starts and stays running, but the server
isn’t listening for incoming connections.
The log files aren't being created either, so that make me think
that for some reason the openvpn service isn’t seeing my
server.ovpn file with my configuration.
By the way, this is the latest version of openvpn downloaded and
installed this morning.
Do you have any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advance for
your help!
