Thank you for this tip! I had to deinstall both Kerio PF and Sophos to make
things work.

Unfortunately, running the machine without a firewall and antivirus
software is not an option. :-(

How about this workaround: Let the installer install new TAP-Win32
interfaces in the "deactivated" state. Then make OpenVPN activate the
interface just prior to using it.

Or as a more short-term workaround: Is there a command which allows me to
(de)activate an interface? Then I could have a small batch script
auto-executed on boot which de- and re-activates the interface.

Cheers,

  Richard
