Re: [Openvpn-devel] 2.5-beta-1 Windows installer problems
I tried this again on a completely fresh Win10 VM. The experience was the same, IPv6 works v4 does not. When installing as an admin user and then switching to a non-admin, the installation still continues but does ask for admin password. But the result is still the same, no IPv4. Uninstalling and then installing as a non-admin from scratch seems a lot smoother but the final result is the same, no IPv4. Summary: Win10 install from non-admin seems to be cleanly done but the result is no Ipv4. Win10 install as admin user is not so clean. OpenVPN installer seems to be left in an incomplete state until a non-admin user logs in. In my opinion, this is not ideal considering the number of single user machines in use. Microsoft do what they must to protect the system when a single user machine is in use, openvpn should not be so picky.. Win7 .. same result, no Ipv4. Win7 install seems to have the same issues of who is allowed to install openvpn but does a bad job of it, no admin password prompt. I know this is a beta so I'm not complaining, only offering feedback Regards On 15/08/2020 19:31, tincanteksup wrote: Comment inline: On 15/08/2020 19:29, tincanteksup wrote: Hi, I would like to document the very strange issues I had testing the 2.5 MSI installers. The first test was on a Win7-Ent/32bit VM with 32bit installer. The second test was a real PC with Win7-HomePro/64bit (yeah, user did not want w10) 64bit installer. The third test was Win10/64bit VM 64bit installer. The results were almost identical: 1. Logged in as admin user. 2. Installed over previous installation. Completed apparently OK ? 3. On testing the VPN I found that: IPv6 worked (could ping both ways) IPv4 did not (could not ping either way) Firewall disabled. Dual stack VPN. 4. Logged out/Logged in as normal user. 5. OpenVPN Installer forced a re-install of the TAP/wintun drivers. The user could select "do not install" but the installer was auto-run. I did "Install" the drivers as non-admin user and was *not* prompted for admin password. The user was *not* prompted for admin password. 6. Using the same VPN config as above, the VPN now functions correctly. The only difference was that on Win10 I could not test logging back in as a standard user because my VM could not be activated. I do not know where would be the bast place to raise these issues and so sent my feedback to the list for further consideration.
