i have same problem.
windows 10 pro x64 (updated from windows 8.1).
openvpn-install-2.3.8-I601-x86_64.exe (also i tried openvpn-install-2.3.8-I001-x86_64.exe, openvpn-install-2.3.7-I003-x86_64.exe, openvpn-install-2.3.7-I603-x86_64.exe).
when I try to install openvpn, i have such error:

---------------------------
TAP-Windows 9.21.1 Setup
---------------------------
An error occurred installing the TAP device driver.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

also i tried full uninstall openvpn (with tap), but it did not help.

when i run "Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter" (addtap.bat) i have such log:

I can confirm I have this same issue while installing openvpn-install-2.3.8-I601-x86_64.exe or openvpn-install-2.3.8-I001-x86_64.exe on Windows 10 RTM.

I have also tried installing tap-windows-9.21.1.exe and get the following error.
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices? failed, GetLastError?=1460

This problem seems to stem from the new driver code-signing requirements from Microsoft:

I'll notify people responsible for obtaining code-signing certificates and start jumping through these additional hoops...

I have the same problem too! Can't connect to my homelab((
How long this code-signing process will take?

comment:10 Changed 9 years ago by bananolu

I upgraded to Windows 10 x64 professionnal last week.
I found it smart to also update my VPN application just after, which in turn tried to update TAP-driver to v 9.21.1 (I was using 9.009 before that and it worked for months on 8.1)...

BUT

TAP-windows9.21.1 setup stopped , just after a UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices? fail with GetLastError? = 1460

and since... that must be the longer 7 days at googling and trying every way to get past the installer :

I tried rebooting, installing drivers and manually delete or disable meanwhile or after Tap-windows 9.21.1 setup stopped...
I tried editing registry, adding string "ComponentId?"="tap0901", importing the whole key when is was missing...
I tried ifcleanup.x64.exe utility to find any ghost network adapter...
I tried disabling any ethernet card, Antivirus, Windows builtin firewall...
I even tried (but with no success) to manually suppress TAP drivers from system32 driver store using pnp utility commandline.

Now I think the problem is not related with *my* config or parameters but more a tricky behaviour of the pilot which does not satisfy windows 10

Here is an extract of c:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log :

     dvi:      {Plug and Play Service: Device Install for ROOT\NET\0000}

It seems to wait 4 minutes or a "post-install" flag or answer from the TAP driver. Since it doesn't come, the installer just put a dummy component and... I'm screwed !

I hope this feedback can help you find out what goes wrong ?

comment:11 Changed 9 years ago by Samuli Seppänen

The standard 64-bit 2.3.8 installer worked just fine on a fresh Windows 10 Pro 64-bit VM. I have also received similar success stories from others using fresh Windows 10 installs.

That said, there are 5 people in this report having issues, so the problem must be fairly widespread. A few questions:

  • Has anyone reproduced this on a fresh Windows 10 install (=not an upgrade)?
  • Did you have the old NDIS 5 driver (tap-windows, version 9.9.2_3) installed before trying to install the new NDIS 6 driver (tap-windows6, version 9.21.1)? The old driver is bundled in OpenVPN installers with build numbers such as I00x, whereas the new one is bundled with installer marked as I60x.
  • Have you upgraded from some really old OpenVPN version, such as 2.2.2?

One thing to try is to completely remove any traces of OpenVPN and tap-windows/tap-windows6 before installing the latest I600x build. The removal is done best using the uninstaller installed by the old OpenVPN version you had installed - they're all still available on our download servers. The more recent uninstallers bundled in recent OpenVPN installers may or may not remove all traces of (really) old OpenVPN versions. Manually verifying the removal is probably a good idea. OpenVPN installer does a lot of stuff, but here are the main things:

  • Adds registry keys to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN
  • Installs files to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN
  • Installs the tap-windows or tap-windows6 driver using devcon.exe (new installers) or tapinstall.exe (old installer)
  • Adds the OpenVPN Technologies code-signing certificate to the certificate store under "Local computer -> Trusted Publishers".

You can manually verify if there are any leftovers after you've run the OpenVPN uninstaller. Registry keys can be manually removed using regedit.exe. Files can be removed using Windows Explorer. Tap-windows drivers can probably be removed using Device manager and/or devcon.exe (tapinstall.exe in older installers). Certificates can be removed using mmc.exe's certificates snap-in.

As for getting the EV certs for signing the tap-windows6 driver... this problem does not seem directly related to changes in code-signing requirements after all, as it only affects some Windows 10 systems.

comment:12 Changed 9 years ago by Samuli Seppänen

Oh, and please note that it is the NDIS 5 tap-windows driver (bundled in I00x installers) does not work on Windows 10. Or if it still does, it will cease to work sooner or later. This is because Microsoft announced a year or so ago that it is removing support for NDIS 5 drivers from Windows.

So please make sure you're using OpenVPN installers builds marked as I60x (NDIS 6) not those marked as I00x (NDIS 5).

these improvements still does not work

comment:14 Changed 9 years ago by Samuli Seppänen

brilic: I had a good look at your setupapi.dev.log. The error at top seems related to some other driver (VMWare network adapter?). There are several tapinstall.exe lines, first one being "install", the remaining three "update". I see no tapinstall.exe-related errors, though. In any case, the tap-windows driver was not removed in between installs, i.e. you installed on top of an earlier OpenVPN install. I suggest completely uninstalling OpenVPN and tap-windows before installing a new version. Tap-windows updates usually work just fine, but I've heard that uninstall/reinstall occasionally works when update does not. Instructions for manually removing tap-windows/tap-windows6 drivers and verifying removal are here.

hsilescr: what improvements are you talking about?

To all people affected: please do a complete cleanup (see comment 11) first. Then try to install the latest release version of OpenVPN (32-bit, 64-bit). If this fixes your problem, please let us know. If it does not fix your problem, please answer these questions:

  • Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?
  • Are you running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7/8, or a clean install?
  • Have you had some really old OpenVPN version, such as 2.2.2, installed before on the same computer?
  • Please provide the relevant part of your setupapi.dev.log (instructions)

We need this information to narrow this down and hopefully manage to reproduce it ourselves.

Sadly all the steps doesn't fix the tap adapter.

Deinstalled all Tap adapter, also hidden ones in the device manager.
Cleaned Registry and folders and deleted the certificates.

Clean install isn't really a option for me.

64 bit upgraded from 8.1

Sadly doesn't know if there was some really old version installed. To long ago xD

Posting the log later, currently at work.

Edit: Also have vmware workstation installed. Maybe some problem with vmware?

Replying to Recoilmaster:

Edit: Also have vmware workstation installed. Maybe some problem with vmware?

RecoilMaster: that is possible - the setupapi.dev.log from brilic also indicated that VMWare was installed.

Replying to samuli:

Yes, I also installed VMware Workstation 11.1.2 build-2780323.

On freshly installed Windows 10, Openvpn installed normally (no errors).

I also tried to remove completely OpenVPN, as it is written in the manual, but it did not help.

Since my last comment I rolled Windows up to control point at which OpenVPN worked.

Sadly deinstallation of VmWare? doesn't fix the problem.

Setting the installation timeout for drivers like mentioned from vmware for error 0x000005b4 doesnt fix the problem.

Clean install with "Windows 10" same effect as a software update 8.1 or 7 revised on 64 and 32 bytes.

comment:20 Changed 9 years ago by bananolu

Seems to be Kaspersky NDIS 6 intermediate driver which interfere with TAP-windows. Uninstalling antivirus made Tap adapter appear in local network connections at once.

I'm performing some other tests to re-enable Kaspersky now

comment:21 Changed 9 years ago by Recoilmaster

Yeah its kaspersky. After deinstall all works fine.

comment:22 Changed 9 years ago by ABauer

I'm using Kaspersky Total Security 2016 and got the same problem. So I think this can be confirmed.

But what will be the solution on this? I cannot uninstall my Anti-Virus tool or switch to another.

In addition I bet, that there are other tools as well, using those Tap devices.

I was able to upgrade OpenVPN in this way:
1) completely removed the Kaspersky (2015/2016) with program http://media.kaspersky.com/utilities/ConsumerUtilities/kavremover.exe ;
2) Install the latest version of OpenVPN;
3) Install Kaspersky (http://www.kaspersky.ru/product-updates);

By the way, Kaspersky did not allow to install not only OpenVPN, but even the network card and wifi drivers.

I suggest contacting Kaspersky support, summarizing the problem and providing them with a link to this bug report. There is nothing we can really do at the OpenVPN end.

I do not know what is your antivirus, but in the case of Kaspersky, disabling antivirus did not help install OpenVPN. Only full uninstall of Kaspersky.

Replying to myself to clarify this a bit. The problem with antivirus software is that they add low-level hooks into the operating system. OpenVPN and tap-windows operate above those hooks and have no way to affect or modify the protective measures the antivirus has in place. If we could circumvent antivirus software, so could a virus.

That said, I notified Kaspersky of this issue. I will let you guys know what their response is.

@samuli: Thanks a lot for pointing this out and contacting Kaspersky. Hopefully they have some good news for us.

Response from Kaspersky:

"We have tried to reproduce the issue in a windows 10 virtual machine with Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 (16.0.0.614) installed. OpenVPN 2.3.8 64 bit version installed with no errors or issues. Also installed the tap-windows drivers from your separate download link and it installed with no issue."

Are you all using Kaspersky Total Security 2016? If not, let me know what you are using. Also, have you modified the default settings of Kaspersky in some way?

The problem occures on Kaspersky Total Security 2016. You're on the right track :)

comment:32 Changed 9 years ago by ABauer

Hi Everone,

today, I made a retry with Kaspersky Total Sec Version 16.0.0.614(a) and OpenVPN Connect 2.0.18.202 and it worked (on Windows 10 64bit)!

I deinstalled Kaspersky using the uninstaller found on their homepage and deinstalled any OpenVPN/Tap NDIS stuff maybe left over.

Then I reinstalled Kaspersky, upgraded to latest Version, rebooted and then installed OpenVPN. Now it works like a charm.

I got no good explanaition for that and I refuse to make any guess.

Can anyone please try this as well and confirm or decline this solution?

Uninstaller can be found here:

Fresh Kaspersky can be downloaded here:

I confirm that with Kaspersky Total Security 2015 installed, TAP driver was hanging on installation. It's not the case with 2016.0.0.614, and the installation process get on term. But there are still huge interferences between Kaspersky NDIS6 and TAP-windows driver when it gets installed :

  • random disconnections from VPN server
  • "shadow" connections still dangling while trying to reconnect, even when closing and relaunching every application/OS
  • routing and in particular DNS validation is faulty, more often down than working.

Disabling the antivirus, or removing the NDIS6 filter on every Ethernet connections, even [uninstall] that NDIS filter in a connection properties made nothing work better.

The only remedy so far to get OpenVPN work (install for once, then stable at use) has been to remove totally Kaspersky from my system (versions 2015, or 2016 the same).
So the combo Win10 x64 + KTS 2016 + TAP-windows is still non-functional.

Has anyone got KIS 2016 (Internet Security) working better than KTS (Total Security) in the same conditions ? (I doubt it, but why I could ask Kaspersky to change my licence if it's the case) :
Please try to sustain the VPN connection for some time and donwload something. I haven't been able to get it stable more than a few minutes. Then random websites began to timeout, connection speed was falling then I was disconnected from VPN server with no hope of restoring DNS routing without rebooting the OS.

PS : I'm going to make every action ABauer said, in the same order, notably with the removal tool I haven't tried yet.

Hi, finally I managed to get things work stable, using ABauer method. Here is what I've done :
1) uninstall Kaspersky antivirus
2) using Kaspersky remover utility , select KTS 2015 (2 versions proposed) then another turn for 2016. Please note that this step erases every information like antispam collection, licensing info etc.)
3) reboot
4) uninstall TAP-windows
5) optionnaly, I uninstalled every program that could interfere or filter over my network connections (here, Hagel DU meter 7.09)
6) reboot
7) reinstall fresh KIS 2016 (not KTS bescause it wasn't proposed for my language yet) - at this point, I let it work on '30 days evaluation period) - update bases...
8) reinstall OpenVPN / TAP-windows last version. No problem encountered.
Here I checked if VPN connection was sustainable, with no loose DNS /routing like before.
9) reinstall third-party programs
10) re-enter Kaspersky license info (for KTS), and let KIS convert itself to the right version (very short process btw)

No problem encountered so far, and it works like a charm, indeed.
As a matter of fact, there is no trace left of the infamous "Kaspersky antivirus NDIS 6 driver" in any of my network connections properties.
I can only suppose it was removal-tool major effect.

I hope this whole ticket will help any fellow with trouble installing OpenVPN. Antivirus and Firewalls (any brand) are definitely something to double-check when encountering weird problems using VPN.

Thx again everyone for the team work !

A response from Kaspersky. Published with their permission as-is:


Unfortunately neither our developers were able to reproduce the issue, either on KIS or KTS 2016. One suggestion we were given is to try the installation procedure after you have disabled Self-Defense feature.

In order to disable Self-defense of Kaspersky:

  1. If the main window of Kaspersky application is not on your desktop, bring it up by double-clicking the Kaspersky desktop shortcut (icon) or by double clicking on the Kaspersky icon in the bottom right corner of the screen;
  2. Click on the Gear icon in the bottom left corner of the Kaspersky window;
  3. On the left side menu select 'Additional';
  4. On the right side menu select 'Self-defense'
  5. Uncheck the box 'Enable Self-Defense' and click 'Continue'

A detailed "How to" guide is available here: http://support.kaspersky.com/11145 (click on the link to bring up the guide)

If that makes no difference we would require the following information to further investigate the issue, since we cannot reproduce it in our environment:

A) A screenshot of the error message that comes up when you try to install your application/drivers, as well as a screenshot of the network connections window as it should be with the tap drivers installed.

B) GSI report with Kaspersky installed and another one, where the installation wasn't prevented and the application/drivers were installed correctly.

To submit the GetSystemInfo report:

1) Download the utility GetSystemInfo.exe from the following direct link: http://media.kaspersky.com/utilities/ConsumerUtilities/GetSystemInfo6.0.exe (click on it to initiate download)
2) Restart your computer.
3) Run the GetSystemInfo.exe and click Accept
4) Click on the green Play symbol. The process can take up to 10 minutes and the progress bar may remain below 10% for most of the time.
5) A *.zip file with a name similar to this will be saved on your desktop automatically:
eg. GetSystemInfo_PC_Name_Username_Date_Time.zip
6) Please send us that .zip archive containing the report as an attachment in a reply to this email.

Further support (including a video) on how to use the GetSystemInfo utility can be found here: http://support.kaspersky.com/general/dumps/3632 (click on that link to bring up the detailed guide)

C) Please submit traces:

1) Pause Protection. To do that simply right-click the Red & Black Kaspersky icon in System Tray (on the bottom right corner of your screen) and select “Pause Protection”.

2) Enable Tracing: Click on the customer support icon in the bottom left corner of the main Kaspersky window – Support Tools - Enable traces.

3) Reproduce the issue where the installation fails.

4) Disable Tracing. Click on the customer support icon in the bottom left corner of the main Kaspersky window – Support Tools - Disable traces (stop).

5) Send us the resulting traces. A guide on ‘How to locate trace files’ is available via the link: http://support.kaspersky.com/11139#block1

Note that these instructions apply to 2016 version as well.

Traces are *.log files with a specific name:

[Product].[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_[Random].[Type]. For example:

  • KAV.16.0.0.614._._*.SRV.log
  • KAV.16.0.0.614._._*.GUI.log

Please note that we require both GUI and SRV traces.

Please upload traces to our FTP: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/myaccount#section2 or to any freeware file-hosting service and submit a download link.

If possible, please pack traces in an archive with maximum compression.

We will be waiting for your feedback in order to proceed.


I suggest that those affected open a support request with Kaspersky and provide them the information they are requesting. Reporting the results of the debugging here would be most welcome!

comment:38 Changed 8 years ago by Clodo

In Windows 10 Build 10240 (the version shipped in August 2015) my issue below is NOT reproducible.

In Windows 10 version 1511 Build 10586.0 (the patch shipped November 15, 2015) the issue is ALWAYS reproducible.

I have two machine with build 10586, one upgraded from Windows 8, and another is a fresh install from MSDN. So upgrading is not correlated in my case.

I tested NDIS 6 tap-windows-9.21.1.exe.
Full installer openvpn-install-2.3.8-I601-x86_64.exe have the same issue.

If i install the tap-windows on a fresh install, it works perfectly, without need a reboot.

But if after i uninstall and reinstall (directly, without reboot, uninstall don't ask a reboot),
it hangs for FIVE minute and after throw this error:
http://pastebin.com/Z74uZLzn
and finish with a wrong situation: Device Manager show a 'Unknown device'.
Connecting with OpenVPN GUI throw a 'There are no TAP-Windows adapters on this system.' (i think a full log is useless).

If i relaunch the tap-installer, still hang for FIVE minute and throw the same error.

If i reboot Windows, it detect automatically the 'Unknown device' and OpenVPN GUI start to work, WITHOUT need to relaunch the tap-installer.

It's always reproducible on two machine, please tell me if you need any other informations.

Thanks
Clodo

I can confirm that what Clodo has reported is being experienced by us with the latest Windows 10 patch.

We have a number of laptops on which the OpenVPN client was installed prior to W10v1511b10585.0, which continue to work fine. However, we have one laptop which was updated to this latest version of Windows 10 on which now the OpenVPN installation times out during the TAP driver installation.

Again as Clodo has reported I see the TAP-V9 device show up under Device Manager, but then switch to Unknown Device after the post-install fail. I will attempt to reboot and see if the adapter shows up properly. However, our usecase is slightly different in that we start openvpn as a Delayed Start service so that the user in the field doesn't require Administrator privileges. OpenVPN-GUI is not used.

The c:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log log file is as reported above, and so I won't repeat. However, I am enclosing a screenshot of the error displayed when attempting a manual installation of tap-windows. A (possible) relevant line might be "UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDeviceFailed?, Get Last Error=1460"

comment:41 Changed 8 years ago by usonianhorizon

Responding to my own post from a couple of hours ago, I think I may have found at least part of the issue.

Following the instructions at

http://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/ManagingWindowsTAPDrivers

and from there to:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx

I found that there were two TAP drivers installed. I used pnputil.exe to remove both, rebooted, and then attempted to install openvpn-install-2.3.8-I601-x86_64, and it installed without a hitch.

Now, I am uncertain how/if this correlates to W10v1511b10586.0.

Now on to testing the OpenVPN service with Delayed Start for non-Administrator users!

comment:42 Changed 8 years ago by sku

We have the same problem, as we ship openvpn as part or our product. For us it is a showstopper, so I did some investigation what's going on here and would like to share my findings.

First of all, this is not a problem of antivirus or vmware, these are all red herrings. I have tested on Win10 1511 both on clean installed hardware and in VMs, all without any antivirus (except for the oob stuff) and the problem exists on both. Our software exhibits this behaviour when updating, where we do a "devcon remove tap0901" and a "devcon install OemVista?.inf tap0901" in rapid succession. If we do so, we get the 4 minute timeout and the tap adapter is gone. However, everything works if we reboot either inbetween these two devcon calls or afterwards (which is a rather strange behaviour I have never seen before for root enumerated devices such as the openvpn tap adapter). This is why it works for people after some time: They have simply rebooted their boxes in the mean time and the tap adapter either reappears or can be installed successfully. It also works if you start ncpa.cpl and then update. So what I currently do in our software: detect win10 1511, launch "control ncpa.cpl", wait for 10 seconds or so, run "devcon remove tap0901" and "devcon install OemVista?.inf tap0901" and everything works. Not really scientific, but it seems to work in our installer. This ncpa.cpl-thingie kinda reminds me of the hoops I had to go through when using the ndis5 openvpn adapter on Windows 8, where I had to launch ncpa.cpl as part of my ovpn file when connecting to my openvpn server.

Just for the records, this is the call stack in devcon during the 4 minute hang which is followed by the timeout error of UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices? (ddinstx64.exe is our renamed version of devcon):

ntdll.dllRtlUserThreadStart() + 0x34 Bytes

So maybe someone else can jump in and has an idea why launching ncpa.cpl makes things work or what causes this wait operation in the call stack above. I have debugged devcon for these two calls and I cannot see why a reboot should be required, there is no indication for it in the API calls being made in these two calls (UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices? usually does, but only if it is successful, but in our case it fails entirely). So I guess that this is either a long standing bug in the ndis6 driver that never raised its head until lately or a bug in win10 1511.

HTH,

Oh yes, another thing: It doesn't make a difference whether Win 10 1511 is running as installed from the ISO or if the latest patches are applied to 1511. Somewhere someone purportedly had success when applying the latest patches, but I suppose that this just led to a reboot which heals all problems as described above.

comment:44 Changed 8 years ago by sku

another observation I have made is this: removing the tap adapter driver from the local driver store after the "devcon remove tap0901" doesn't change anything. I also do not think that this has anything to do with the new driver signing policy in Windows 10 because the currently shipping driver has been signed *before* windows 10 has shipped, so the old driver signing rules still apply. It is going to be another thing for the next version of the driver, this will have to be signed using an EV certificate.

comment:45 Changed 8 years ago by adamk

and confirmed there was no additional TAP drivers installed also using pnputil.exe with no change. I still am not able to install TAP driver.

comment:46 Changed 8 years ago by AhmedBM

I am having the same issue, I can confirm that the pnputil to remove the driver from the driverstore doesn't actually fix the problem. It seems that rebooting and trying to install the drivers again sometimes works but not in all cases.
Any update from the developers?

comment:47 Changed 8 years ago by AhmedBM

Ok i have a workaround that seems to work on all Windows 10 1511 systems ive tried this so far on. Remove the NIC and any "Other Device" which are present. Reboot and try again.

We use the TAP driver in our software product and run the tapinstall command directly in the install process which just simply timesout after 5 minutes with an error. Performing the above workaround has worked on all machines experiencing this problem so far.

comment:48 Changed 8 years ago by AhmedBM

I cannot seem to reproduce it anymore with Win 10 build 11082. I did about 5 installs and none of them failed, previously i only had 2/5 actually work. Im wondering what kind of luck you guys have with this build.
This is the insider preview (Fast Ring) build 11082

comment:49 Changed 8 years ago by p4l1ndr0m3

I have a simple work around that I have confirmed works on 3 different WIN 10 x64 machines so far that wouldn't install TAP previously. I'm running Kaspersky Small Office Security 4.

  1. Temporarily disable your antivirus (you don't need to uninstall it)
  2. Navigate to C:\Users\*CURRENT USER* and open it up
  3. Go to the "View" tab and click "Options" on the right side
  4. When the Folder Options window pops up, select the "View" tab
  5. Select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives
  6. Uncheck "Hide protect operating system files (Recommended)"
  7. Hit "Apply" at the bottom
  8. Run the OpenVPN installer as administrator
  9. Change everything back

BAM! It will finish installing and will not hang. If you want to live dangerously, you can start the installer first, let it hang, then complete the steps. It will become unstuck as soon as you hit "Apply" button after making the changes.

Have fun :-)

I am also experiencing the problem on a Windows 8 machine. I have no antivirus software installed. I tried all the methods above. Removed the driver from the driver store using pnputil, it does not help. The TAP driver just does not install.

Can this be reproduced with tap-windows-9.21.2? That version is included in latest openvpn Windows installer releases, such as 2.3.12.

Hello, I've been having the same problem since yesterday, while trying to update the TAP driver.

The following is from the setupapi.dev.log.

I've tried most of the solutions that are out there regarding this, including:

running as admin
deleting and reinstalling
editing the registry
disabling antivirus
installing in safe mode
removing driver with pnputil and trying to reinstall

This is Windows 10, 64 bit, and occurred while trying to install with tap-windows-9.21.2 installer.

comment:53 Changed 7 years ago by hermy10

Since a week ago, I try to install the TAP driver, oem121.inf, Version 9.0.0.21, at my win10 system.

Win10 has been upgraded from Win7 in July this year.
I have installed TightVNC
I checked registry, no entry of the TAP driver can be found in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Control\Class\{4d36r972...\0000 ... 0012

I tried a lot of things, similar to mandu1021.

  • reboot, secure mode, shut down and start
  • uninstall/install TAP driver as administrator
  • delete content of Users/administrator/AppData/Local/Temp
  • pnputil.exe -d oem121.inf
  • tried 32bit Version and TAP windows 9.9.2 as well, same bug

What happens if you try to install the tap driver indirectly, by installing openvpn (2.4_rc1)?

Replying to cron2:

The same thing happens; that's what I initially did, and it always fails installing tap driver.

comment:56 Changed 7 years ago by hermy10

Same thing on my system. setupapi.dev.log is almost identical.

comment:57 Changed 7 years ago by mandu1021

So, it seems to install when I go into Safe mode (without networking; it didn't work with networking enabled), and shows up in the Device Manager. However, it does not show up in the list of adapters in both control panel > network and internet > network connections and command prompt.

command prompt:

openvpn --show-adapters
Available TAP-WIN32 adapters[name, GUID]:

Tried installing tap driver at the command prompt:

tapinstall.exe install ../drver/OemVista.inf tap0901
tapinstall.exe failed.

Just in case this helps. I don't know that much to give an useful insight to this problem.

So. Is there anything special about your Win10 installations? Like, a rarely-seen security suite installed, special corporate VPN client, etc.?

It works for most Win10 users, so I find it very surprising it stubbornly refuses to work for you.

I don't think so. I'll try to list things that might be related.

  • upgraded from windows 8.1
  • used to have Avira Antivirus, currently deleted
  • softether VPN Client
  • vmware
  • Mudfish launcher (basically vpn for gaming - this uses the tap driver from openvpn, from which I initially got the problem of tap driver not installing)

That is all, as far as I can remember. Speaking of which, it used to work with all of those, but failed to install when I was trying to update (i.e. reinstall) the Mudfish launcher. I've tried installing the tap driver by itself without that, which unfortunately didn't work.

comment:60 Changed 7 years ago by hermy10

My installation is nonspecial as well.

  • upgraded from win7
  • TightVNC installed
  • Kaspersky never installed
  • AVIRA Antivir (free version) installed, sometimes deactivated for testing TAP installer, no effect
  • secure mode tested, no effect

I have a 2nd win10 system, same hardware, almost parallel installations and use. There, openvnp and TAP had been installed some weeks earlier and work perfectly.

I suggest that a recent win10 update might be the source of the trouble, there have been many of them in the last weeks...

I skimmed through all of this again now that the problems have reappeared.

In most cases the failure seems to be caused by a timeout in the post-install phase, e.g.

     ndv:           Waiting for device post-install to complete. 01:06:18.715
!!!  ndv:           Timed out waiting for device post-install to complete. 01:10:18.715

The timeout is always exactly four minutes, so something is blocking devcon.exe.

I have heard anecdotal evidence that in some cases Windows Update can block devcon.exe. If this the case, then stopping the Windows Update service should logically solve the problem. To test this launch Windows Powershell as an administrator.

First check if Windows Update service is running:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-Service wuauserv

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Running  wuauserv           Windows Update

If it is, stop it:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Stop-Service wuauserv

Then verify it is stopped:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-Service wuauserv

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Stopped  wuauserv           Windows Update

Now try to install tap-windows / openvpn again and see what happens. If installation now works, then Windows update was the culprit.

Once you're done with the tests, the Windows Update service can be restarted with

PS C:\Windows\system32> Start-Service wuauserv

So, I did check the wuauserv, and it was already stopped. for some reason, Get-Service, Stop-Service, and Start-Service all gave me:

'<something-Service>' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

On another note, I was suspecting my system was broken (maybe the registry) because it seemed that most people's ones were working, so I tried to run sfc /scannow, which didn't work - Windows Modules Installer wasn't in the list of services, while the TrustedInstaller?.exe did exist on C:\Windows\servicing directory (and running it didn't do anything). I guess this is the reason that it's not installing - upon trying to install the SoftEther? VPN again, it also failed to install its adapter. Based on the fact that everything was running fine before this arised, I'm guessing that recent windows update broke something on my computer.

Anyhow, at least for me, I figure the issue's not related to OpenVPN at all. Maybe I'll have to do a clean install of windows. Thank you all for looking into it though.

Get-Service is not a recognized command on my system. Instead, I used "sc query wuauserv", indicating that the service is stopped.

I checked system health with "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth?", no errors were found. "sfc /scannow" does not help, the command recommends reboot, even after reboot.

No success installing TAP driver after uninstalling Avira Antivir.

The TAP issue persists, the system seems to be quite healthy. Any idea is acknowledged.

@mandu1021, @hermy10: you are you sure you launched a Windows _PowerShell_ session, not cmd.exe?

If Powershell is truly missing, then the Windows installation has been customized to some degree, as Powershell should be installed by default on Windows 7 and later, and possibly Vista.

comment:65 Changed 7 years ago by hermy10

@samuli: powershell is installed. sfc produces same message. I found a command for reinstalling the win10 apps, no success when installing Openvpn.

Now, I have a repair USB for win10, but I do not really know how to handle it.

Just found this ticket and sadly I've run into this issue numerous times. In my particular case at least, it's always been windows fault.

As hinted to by this Superuser Post:

http://superuser.com/questions/937670/this-operation-requires-an-interactive-window-station-error-when-installing-de

The problem is with permissions of windows driver folders. It seems to trigger during windows update flights and appears to be random (so I'm guessing the windows update fails at some point when restoring drivers as part of upgrade process).

Using the "Take Ownership" shell extension and adding myself to drivers folder and force propagating the permission fixes the problem.

Take Ownership Shell Extension for Windows 10: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-take-ownership-add-context-menu-windows-10-a.html

comment:67 Changed 7 years ago by hermy10

Following the links given by maverik, I applied "take ownership" to the folders "drivers" and "DriverStore?" in C:\windows\system32, no success.

In the meantime, I noted additional problems on my win10 system. The online update did not work, I was unable to install manually the newest updates, and I was unable to uninstall the latest installed update. There may or may not be a connection between the driver problem and the update problem. I decided to reset windows and keeping the own data, following the procedure suggested by Microsoft ("Wiederherstellungsoptionen").

In summary, the exercise was very very time-consuming but openvpn could be installed normally at the end.

Thanks to all for the various suggestions.

I have the same problem on Windows 10 64 bit. I don`t have any antivirus, firewall etc...Windows Defender is also swith off.

But I am still get this error - unable to install TAP driver. I have tried many version, I have tried manually install driver - nothing works.

comment:69 Changed 6 years ago by openvpnuser2000

I can grant an access to my computer to anyone who can help...

comment:70 Changed 6 years ago by peter.2017

Having the same symptoms, in my case it was due to pending connection bridge. It was not removed with the old version. After i have deleted it openVpn (tap driver) installs without errors.

Replying to hmsgcr:

No work Windows 10 Tap-Windows Adapter

I ran into same issue and found that Checkpoint VPN client was causing the TAP Driver to not install correctly. Once I uninstalled the driver started to work correctly.

I experienced this same issue on Windows 10 x64, but I was able to resolve by closing all virtualization software.

I use Sandboxie and Virtualbox for virtualization. In addition to Virtualbox, I use VMBoxService to run a VM as a service. I stopped all Sandboxie apps, and shutdown all VMs and stopped the VMBoxService. I then proceeded to install OpenVPN and the install went through. My suggestion is to stop all applications and Virtual Machines before installing to see if it resolves the issue.

Additionally, if you have any software that utilizes a virtual nic, you may want to make sure it's not running as well. In my case, I was using a Loopback adapter in my VM. Not sure if that made a difference, but it may be valuable information for anyone when testing.

This worked for me, the problem was the TAP Driver is unsigned and being rejected by Windows 10 integrity checking. To disable integrity checking / allow unsigned drivers to be installed:

open cmd prompt via Start, Windows System, Right click on Command Prompt, More, select Run as Administrator

Type the following in the dos window to turn off integrity checking and allow the TAP drivers to be installed:

bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on

Now run the install of your software

After successful install of TAP Driver, turn integrity checking back on:

bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks off

If you run in a non admin mode you may get and error related to Unable to Open Data Store. Make sure you run CMD/DOS window as administrator.

I also had the same problem:

devcon.exe failed

after updating TAP and OpenVPN it was:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>"C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin\tapinstall.exe" install "C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemVista.inf" tap0901
Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...
Updating drivers for tap0901 from C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemVista.inf.
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices failed, GetLastError=1460
tapinstall.exe failed.

I fixed it by uninstalling Check Point VPN, which was also installed on the same laptop. Everything works fine if Check Point is installed *AFTER* OpenVPN, but not if you update OpenVPN after Check Point installation.

comment:76 Changed 5 years ago by kongo

Thank you very much.
The combination
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on
and unistall Check Point VPN client worked for me !!!!

New tap-windows6 release (9.23.2) for Windows 10 is available here:

Can you guys try installing that and see if it works? No special trickery should be necessary as it comes with Microsoft's own signature.

comment:78 Changed 4 years ago by Omodayo

Update:
I just tested the link below on a Windows 10 instance with no luck.

Use Case:
I have running and OpenVPN crashes due to 'Unexpected Errors'.
My use case is for the AWS CPN Client setup.
The AWS docs indicate that the errors I am seeing are because TAP-Windows is not installed on my machine.

Troubleshooting:
I uninstalled my existing TAP-Windows V9 and installed the TAP-Windows v9.23.2 linked above and then restarted my machine. Upon restart, I tried to connect to the AWS VPN but the connection failed with the same error message:

DeDupeProcessDiedSignals: Unexpected errors caused OpenVPN to exit prematurely

Moving Forward:
I will continue to search the web and can update this post if I find a reliable solution.
Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Solution:
This had nothing to do with OpenVPN, my path names for the cert & key files listed in my configurations just needed to be in quotes....XD

PS. I found the link below to be very helpful in understanding how all of these tools fit together:

I cant believe this is a 5 year old bug :D
I just installed openvpn client 2.4.9 on windows 10 and it hanged at installing tap driver.. I then had to disable all my adapters (yes i have many) except my main internet ethernet connection, reboot and reinstall for it to work!! I think this needs some urgent fixing..

comment:80 Changed 4 years ago by Samuli Seppänen

@kopetepanda this is 5 years old because this is not a single bug and can't ever be fixed as such. This ticket is a mix of issues in external antivirus software, Windows and OpenVPN.

That said, we recently found out that if there is an old cross-signed (=Windows 7) tap-windows6 driver in the driver store then Windows has a tendency to prefer it over the (correct) attestation-signed (Windows 10) version. The only cure is to get rid of all tap-windows6 versions in the driver store before running the installer - just follow the usual clean up and start from scratch approach.

The OpenVPN 2.5 release which is around the corner will be distributed as an MSI installer. The tap-windows6 management will be much improved there.

comment:81 Changed 3 years ago by jirkasdf

I had the same problem, on 2 different Windows 10 computers. What worked for me:
1) Disabling all network adapters
2) Take ownership of the C:\Windows\system32\Drivers and DriverStore? folders using the ​https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-take-ownership-add-context-menu-windows-10-a.html shell extension as mentioned in comment 66 above
3) Booting Windows into state where installation of unsigned drivers is allowed. This became more strict as the time went and hence less easy to allow. What works when I am writing this comment is: Shift + Reboot pressing the button, then "Choose an option", "Troubleshoot", "Advanced options", "Start-up settings", "Restart". When system is starting it allows you to choose boot mode, press 7 or F7 (https://www.supportrix.com/kb/how-to-install-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-10/).

All of the steps above were necessary. It is weird that not all people have this problem when installing...
