Hi, As some of you may be aware, I've been working on the new Python-based OpenVPN Windows buildsystem; now the first fully functional OpenVPN installer is ready:
<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/openvpn-2.2-rc-install-preview-1.exe> However, I've only done very limited testing. On Windows 7 64-bit platform the following seems to work: - installing and uninstalling all userspace components - installing and uninstalling the (64-bit) TAP driver - running OpenVPN as service - running OpenVPN using the OpenVPN-GUI I've only noticed two small issues on the Win7 64-bit platform: - uninstall does not remove the OpenVPN start menu entries properly (remove manually using right click -> delete) - "View README" at the end of install does not work Note that the installer itself is not signed, even though the TAP drivers are. This will be fixed in the final 2.2-rc release. Now, I'd need help in verifying that both the installer and the included executables work properly on all supported 32 and 64-bit Windows platforms (XP and later). If you can, please test the installer on some _non-critical system_ and report back, whether everything works properly or not. Once all installer bugs are squashed, I'll make the openvpn-2.2-rc release. After that I'll clean up my buildsystem patches, send them here for review and then update the Windows building Wiki page: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingOnWindows> Note that soon we'll be able to provide (untested) weekly/biweekly snapshot builds for Windows. This will benefit those who require the latest and greatest functionality. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock
