Hi,

I have prepared binaries to test Windows MSI-based OpenVPN installations and
upgrading at https://github.com/rozmansi/openvpn/releases.

I have tested them myself in various conditions to get started. However, I
would kindly ask everybody to give it a test.

Focus on the latest v2.4.6m3, please.

In the absence of documentation (should follow early next year), here is
some quick explanation:

- The MSI files are complete installers but they are architecture specific.
They are intended for Group Policy deployment.

- The EXE installer is an all-in-one SFX with both MSI files and a simple
bootstrapper to pick the right MSI according to the architecture detected at
run-time. EXE installer is targeted for general audience. This one also logs
the output of the installation to %TEMP%\OpenVPN-install.log. Just type the
"%TEMP%\OpenVPN-install.log" in the Explorer's address bar, should you need
to see what was happening under the hood.

- The setup should be able to upgrade NSIS OpenVPN 2.3.x and 2.4.x
installations by installing over them. No need to uninstall first. Though,
if you have any exotic Windows configuration available, do test a fresh
install too.

Remember: Test it to fail!

Any feedback kindly appreciated.

Thank you in advance and best regards,
Simon
