+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

+
+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).

+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.
