51 | | Occasionally you may have to try out different versions of the Windows TAP-driver. This can be done with ''<openvpn-install-dir\bin\tapinstall.exe''. This tool is actually renamed [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272 Devcon.exe]. |
52 | | |
53 | | It's fairly straighforward to use ''tapinstall.exe'' from a command-prompt. The <id> is an identifier which ''tapinstall.exe'' uses to detect the correct driver. In case of OpenVPN 2.2* it's ''tap0901''. This may be different in older/newer versions. To view information about an installer driver use |
54 | | |
55 | | {{{ |
56 | | $ tapinstall.exe hwids <id> |
57 | | }}} |
58 | | |
59 | | To uninstall a driver use: |
60 | | |
61 | | {{{ |
62 | | $ tapinstall.exe remove tap0901 |
63 | | }}} |
64 | | |
65 | | To install a new TAP-driver use |
66 | | |
67 | | {{{ |
68 | | $ tapinstall.exe install <something.inf> <id> |
69 | | }}} |

71 | | It's also possible to [wiki:BuildingOnWindows#ExtractingsignedTAP-driversfromanOpenVPNinstaller extract TAP-drivers from OpenVPN installer] without installing OpenVPN. |
