+UPGRADING FROM 2.3-ALPHA1 AND EARLIER
+
+OpenVPN Windows installer went through major changes in
+2.3-alpha2. To avoid any unexpected behavior, it is strongly
+suggested to upgrade as follows.
+
+First backup configuration files and certificates from your
+current installation; by default they're in
+
+    C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config (32-bit Windows)
+    C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config (64-bit Windows)
+
+After this, stop the openvpn-gui or the openvpn service
+wrapper, if either of them is running and uninstall OpenVPN.
+Finally, remove the OpenVPN install directory entirely (e.g.
+using Windows Explorer as administrator).
+
+Finally, install the new version of OpenVPN and copy over
+your configuration files and certificates, which now go to
+
+    C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config
+
+provided you did not install the 32-bit version on 64-bit
+Windows.
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS VISTA/7 USERS
+
+Note that on Windows Vista, you will need to run the OpenVPN
+GUI with administrator privileges, so that it can add routes
+to the routing table that are pulled from the OpenVPN server.
+You can do this by right-clicking on the OpenVPN GUI
+desktop icon, and selecting "Run as administrator".
+
+GENERAL QUICKSTART FOR WINDOWS
+
+The OpenVPN Client requires a configuration file
+and key/certificate files. You should obtain
+these and save them to OpenVPN's configuration
+directory, usually C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config.
+
+You can run OpenVPN as a Windows system service or by using
+the client GUI. To use the OpenVPN GUI, double click on the
+desktop icon or start menu icon. The OpenVPN GUI is a
+system-tray applet, so an icon for the GUI will appear in
+the lower-right corner of the screen. Right click on the
+system tray icon, and a menu should appear showing the names
+of your OpenVPN configuration files, and giving you the
+option to connect.
