Hi,

The installer fails to create a wintun adapter with error 536870397 Attempts to create the adapter through the tapctl executable with create --hwid wintun returns the following error:

tap_create_adapter: DiInstallDevice failed
Error 0xe0000203
Creating TUN/TAP adapter failed (error 0xe0000203).

Workarounds mentioned in this forum post do not work

AR45H commented 1 year ago

I should add that unticking the TUN adapter in the installer will successfully install the client with only the TAP adapter
