Description
I try to configure OpenVPN client on a Windows 10 computer.
When I use the cmd file "Build-key" (Build-key- Client1), the file "Client1.crt" is empty (0 byte)
So impossible to use OpenVPN on client side
Thanks a lot in advance

Best thing to do here is:
- Install Openvpn-2.5 and select Easy-RSA version 3 from the custom options.
- Use Easy-RSA version 3 to build your certificates.

Users of EasyRSA version 2 have been given the tools to upgrade to version 3, install EasyRSA version 3 when you install OpenVPN.
EasyRSA version 3 has a command to upgrade an existing PKI to be compatible with version 3: ./easrsa upgrade pki
This upgrade will preserve all existing PKI files.
For problems using EasyRSA all versions, please use github issues:

Have you set up the CA first?
Anyway, I do not know anything about generating keys on windows, so handing this over to tincantech who does :-)
