+UPGRADING FROM 2.3-ALPHA1 AND EARLIER |
|

+OpenVPN Windows installer went through major changes in |
|
| 4 |
+2.3-alpha2. To avoid any unexpected behavior, it is strongly |
|
| 5 |
+suggested to upgrade as follows. |
|
| 6 |
+ |
|
| 7 |
+First backup configuration files and certificates from your |
|
| 8 |
+current installation; by default they're in |
|
| 9 |
+ |
|
| 10 |
+ C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config (32-bit Windows) |
|
| 11 |
+ C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config (64-bit Windows) |
|
| 12 |
+ |
|
| 13 |
+After this, stop the openvpn-gui or the openvpn service |
|
| 14 |
+wrapper, if either of them is running and uninstall OpenVPN. |
|
| 15 |
+Finally, remove the OpenVPN install directory entirely (e.g. |
|
| 16 |
+using Windows Explorer as administrator). |
|
| 17 |
+ |
|
| 18 |
+Finally, install the new version of OpenVPN and copy over |
|
| 19 |
+your configuration files and certificates, which now go to |
|
| 20 |
+ |
|
| 21 |
+ C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config |
|
| 22 |
+ |
|
| 23 |
+provided you did not install the 32-bit version on 64-bit |
|
| 24 |
+Windows. |
