Re: [Openvpn-users] windows 2003 service not starting

[Glen Marchesani <glenlist@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I uninstalled OpenVPN GUI 2.0 then re-installed OpenVPN 2.0 and the 
service starts fine and everything works great.  Also the strange 
registry entries I mentioned previously are now gone.

I am wondering if the OpenVPN  GUI installer does the uninstalling that 
the OpenVPN installer does.
