-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.
