I just had the same problem on a Windows 10 Home machine and was able to fix it.

Try looking for these registry keys and see if they exist:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wintun

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\tap9091 (or another "tap" key)

If they do exist prior to the installation of OpenVPN, delete them (if they're not in use by another VPN software), reboot to make sure and try re-installing OpenVPN.
