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. + +BUILDING OPENVPN FOR WINDOWS + +Official OpenVPN Windows releases are cross-compiled on Linux using the +openvpn-build buildsystem: + + https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingUsingGenericBuildsystem + +First setup the build environment as shown in the above article.
