I think that the problem stems from the lack of conversion of ANSI-> OEM and the lack of quotation marks in the parameters netsh.

Why was I owning that anyway? :-)

It *should* work with the fix from d12fk (8f5a4598662f4b2abe7acfe8f68c90a8b03f2dc8, "Support non-ASCII TAP adapter names on Windows").

namiltd: can you test with the openvpn installer on https://bitbucket.org/QueuingKoala/openvpn-previews/wiki/Releases?
