Suggestion:
- You customers should download and install the openvpn-client
- Prepare a client.conf (or client.ovpn) for your customers
- Tell your customers, they should right click the conf file and then 
"Start openvpn on this config file"

- Tell them to use an approriate 'net use' command to connect to your 
samba-share.

I think this should be easy enough.
