Hi,
Thanks for the thoughts - and they do align with my understanding as well. But
it is failing unfortunately - only if the GUI is run as non-admin. Log for this
case is below, from Windows of course (as it shows). Suggestions?

And I did confirm, as you note,

Running OpenVPNServiceI... OpenVPN Interactive Service
Thanks again,

PS, good to hear from you again Selva. And yes, it has been a while ... š. Hope
all is well!

The Windows service name is "OpenVPNServiceInteractive". You can check its
status from Powershell:
Get-Service OpenVPNServiceInteractive
To start it:
Start-Service OpenVPNServiceInteractive
That said, it _should_ be running already if you installed OpenVPN 2.4.x using
our standard installers.
