It looks like the process isn't running as a user with administrator 
privileges since it is unable to set an IP or add routes.  If you're 
using the GUI you will need to start it under an administrator account 
so the OpenVPN process has the necessary rights to configure the 
network.  With Windows Vista when UAC is enabled, even an administrator 
account must right click on the GUI application and select "run as 
administrator" for the process to have the necessary permissions.
