      Hello,

      I'm very new to the pfsense and trying to figure out how to install the OpenVPN Client Export Utility package.

      The version of pfsense I'm using is 2.2.2-RELEASE(amd64). The installer log is like following:

      Beginning package installation for OpenVPN Client Export Utility .

      done.

      I highlighted the error. Could anyone help me out? Thanks very much in advance!

        I restart the machine with pfsense installed and tried to install the package again and I get this:

          I will just say that I installed it now on a 32-bit and a 64-bit system with no problem. So the various PBI files it downloads are fine.
          There is something special/different about your system  :-\

          As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

              Hello, Thanks for the replies. It confused me as well since it should be a straight forward process.

              I tried VirtualBox on Windows 7 and Mac with no luck. I chose 64bit FreeBSD and 64 bit Linux-Other Linux on my Mac's(64 bit) VirtualBox, and 32bit FreeBSD and 32bit Linux-Other Linux on my Windows7(32bit). No luck. Did any of you guys installed pfsense on virtualbox? And if so, would you mind share your system config for installation? Any help is appreciated!

              Thanks!

                I use pfSense in Virtualbox on FreeBSD for testing purposes. No special configuration. Both 32-bit and 64-bit VMs but mainly 64-bit these days. All packages work fine for me.
