[Openvpn-users] Error message for OpenVPN-GUI 2.0

[Bowie F. <bow...@ya...>]

I cross-compiled openvpn-gui.exe for Microsoft Windows 64-bit
OS using Ubuntu 12.10, 64-bit. The following are the tools I used:
 
mingw-w64-1.0-bin_x86_64-linux_20120227.tar.bz2
openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz
openvpn-gui-2.tar.gz
mingw-w64-tools which contains the gendef tool
winhttp.dll (copied from Microsoft Windows 8, 64-bit)
 
I was able to cross-compile the Windows executable without
problem.
 
I uninstalled OpenVPN 2.3 from my Microsoft Windows 8,
64-bit, English OS. Using regedit, I manually removed OpenVPN-GUI folder
containing registry entries from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN-GUI
 
I reinstalled OpenVPN 2.3, this time making sure that I did
not select to install the bundled OpenVPN-GUI.
 
After successful installation, I copied my cross-compiled
openvpn-gui.exe to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin. I also copied the config files to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config
 
I double-clicked the said executable. A tiny icon appeared on
the bottom right-hand corner of my screen.
 
I right-clicked on the openvpn-gui icon, moved the cursor to
the gateway that I wished to access and a menu popped up.  There were items like: Connect, View Log,
Edit Config and Change Password. I clicked on Connect and was able to access
the internet via the selected gateway.
 
I wanted to disconnect the gateway. I right-clicked on the
tiny openvpn-gui icon located on the bottom right-hand corner of my computer
screen, navigated to the connected gateway and a menu popped up with the the
following items: Disconnect, Show Status, View Log, Edit Config and Change
Password. I clicked on Disconnect and a window popped up containing the
following error message:
 
CreateProcess failed, exe= 'C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe”
cmdline='openvpn –config”” --service 13f000001798 0  --log””
auth-retry interact --management 0.0.0.0 0 stdin
--management-query-passwords --management-hold dir=”
 
The above error message did not appear if I double-clicked
the tiny icon, a window popped up containing the log of the gateway connection
and I clicked on Disconnect. The window that popped up had 3 buttons:
Disconnect, Reconnect and Hide.
 
I was able to reproduced the error message on a Microsoft
Windows 7, 64-bit platform.
 
Any help to resolve the above issue would be most
appreciated.
