Hi,

the \\config-auto folder is only created if the 'openVPN Service' is
selected *manually* during installation.

However, the 'Interactive-Service' *is* installed by default.

This feels *needlessly* complicated.

As a long-time Windows user, I am much more accustomed to turning options
which I do not want OFF than I am turning options which I do want ON.

Also, the installer does not have the customary:
* FULL (Default)
* Standard - This could be renamed 'CLIENT ONLY', if that is the intention ..
* Custom - Debugging ..
* Advertiser sponsored - This is common enough.

which I would normally "hope" to see from a well behaved .msi installer.
