      Hi there,

      I'm a bit green when it comes to pfSense and OpenVPN, but I do have some experience with an older (2.X) version of both.

      I just set up a new Soekris box with pfSense 2.3.3.  Set up OpenVPN and certs, and was looking to do some testing, but when I download the OpenVPN Windows installer package using the Client Export Utility, it fails.  This is true when I try to run both the "current" and "old" installer packages.

      The attached pictures should illustrate more clearly what I see.

      Any ideas what's going on here?  Bad install of the Client Export Utility?  I have tried reinstalling once already.

      Thanks!

        yeah its missing in the download..

        I just updated to the 1.4.2 version of the client export package and when you download the current windows installer it only has the openvpn-postinstall.exe in it..  Total download size is only 190k so yeah clearly its missing the openvpn install..

        Prob best to report this in the package section.

            This should be fixed now in the new version of the package (1.4.2_1).

              Thanks jimp - I can confirm that if you update to 1.4.2_1 of the export package.  That the windows installer does now contain the openvpn-install.exe

                jimp and johnpoz - thank you both very kindly for your great help!

                I manually modified the installers for a couple quickly-needed deployments, but I'll upgrade shortly.
