This error occurs when attempting to change the password using the gui, staring in RC1 and continued in RC2. I couldn't say however if it's the gui or the core causing the problem, I've just observed the issue and don't know how to diagnose it (I'm just a happy user with little to knowledge of C/C++.)
However, after looking into it further, it may be an issue with the OpenSSL binary packaged with OpenVPN. When attempting to change a pkcs12 key password with the openssl binary, running the command 'openssl pkcs12 -in my_cert.p12' to begin the process, crashes in the RC OpenSSL supplied binaries, but does not in beta5. Even running 'openssl version' causes an error.
The Openssl binary in the RC packages are 4 times smaller than that of the beta5, maybe a slimmer version to try to get the installer smaller. I then tried replacing the RC supplied OpenSSL binary with that from the beta5, to test if the same error occurs. I'm not even sure if you could replace binaries out like that, though I would guess that you could. With the OpenSSL binary from beta5 replacing the RC supplied binary, it still crashes, which I guess could bring it back either to the core or gui.

The error returned when trying to change the pkcs key password in the gui is the following.
OPENSSL_Uplink(100FF000,08):no OPENSSL_Applink

update:
I just tested changing the password using the ca, key, and cert combo instead of the pkcs12, and the error occurs here also.

Are you changing the password via OpenVPN-GUI? If so, then the right place to report this bug is: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=248281&atid=1327094

Yes, under OpenVPN-GUI in Windows. I've now posted the bug on the provided link.

Okay, then I'm closing this bug as 'notabug' as this is related to the OpenVPN-GUI project and not the core OpenVPN.

Is it the core OpenVPN (openvpn.exe) which crashes, or is it the OpenVPN GUI?
