Nevermind, Windows was hiding the file extensions on the certs and the openvpn files and they had an extra file extension behind them… Fixed the file extensions and problem solved.

I’m running Windows 7 64 bit and downloaded OpenVPN client 2.1.1. I tried everything as suggested but when I right click the OpenVPN tray icon, I only get “Proxy Settings”, “About” and “Exit” options. I don’t get the “Connect” options.

Can someone help?

Thanks

Thanks for this – helped a lot. The openVPN default install didn’t install the TAPI drivers on Win7 x64 – but following your instructions solved the problem.

Much appreciated.

I had WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL Client software version 10.0.0 (build 170652) which works fine on Windows 7 Pro 32bit but would not work on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

I did the following on my Windows 7 Pro 64bit to get it working.

1.> Download OpenVPN from the following URL http://openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.1_rc15-install.exe

2.>Change the compatibility setting to Windows Vista without which the executable file won’t install.

3.>Double-Click the executable file to launch it.

4.> Once the installation is completed you will see that in Control Panel>>Network and Internet>>Network Connections you have a new device “TAP-Win32 Adapter V9″. This device driver is required for WatchGuard VPN Client with SSL to work.

Hi Jonathan,
This worked a treat and was a great help to me having been using Windows 7 for less than a week! Thank you.
btw I downloaded OpenVPN-2.1.1 as the latest version available.
