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

[Samuli S. <sa...@op...>]

Hi Bowie,

Can you reproduce this issue using these installers?

<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/openvpn-install-2.3.0-I900-i686.exe>
<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/temp/openvpn-install-2.3.0-I900-x86_64.exe>

These installers contain a patched version of openvpn-gui-2 with
MAX_CONFIGS = 150. For clarity, the version number of the GUI was
changed to -9999.

Best regards,
