openVPN GUI does not run error about error opening registry for reading HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN
- by Coder
I'm trying to run OpenVPN as a portable application and to that effect i have installed it on a Windows 7 machine, copied the files to another windows 7 machine and manually restored the registry settings using a .reg file. Whenever i try to run open vpn GUI i get the following error error opening registry for reading HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN
I have verified that the key mentioned is indeed in the registry at the correct location with the correct values yet the GUI still complains.
I have tried running the gui as an administrator (i'm logged in as an administrator) and also the compatibility modes but none helped.
I have also tried openVPN portable "OpenVPNPortable_1.6.6.paf.exe" and it has the same problem. Can anybody help me with this issue?
