Initial Comment:
At first, sample log:
[code]

[/code]

I discovered that 
* error happens when HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{016A6C21-3C79-4285-AEC2-A08BB7BB0215}\Connection is empty ("Default" key has no value and there are no keys).
Yes, emptiness of that key can mean something abnormal (i'm not expert in Windows registry), but IMHO that's not a reason to fail searching for tap device. (I've lost estimately a day discovering a reason why there isn't connection to TAP device from andLinux :) )
And also,
* Error message format is obscure, you'd better use "%s\Connection" instead of "%s\%s\Connection".
