Openvpn install failed

[CliffS]

This is on a vanilla install (all defaults accepted) on Amazon AWS.

Yeap, the same issue, ubuntu 16.04, digitalocean. Also,

"fatal: [localhost -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "xdg-open ../generated-docs/ubuntu-pure.html", "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2}

It looks like they now take the latest stable source (openvpn-latest-stable.tar.gz) and make separate builds for Windows 10 and Windows 7:

openvpn-install-latest-stable-win10.exe 31-Oct-2019 18:37 4335648 openvpn-install-latest-stable-win7.exe 31-Oct-2019 18:38 4322568

The easiest thing would be to just use latest Windows 10 build, since that is what most folks will need. The other obvious option would be to mirror both versions, but that would require documentation changes and/or some way to autodetect the OS when someone goes to download the file.

The URL for the Windows 10 version (and its signature) are: https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/latest/openvpn-install-latest-stable-win10.exe https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/latest/openvpn-install-latest-stable-win10.exe.asc

I'm going to hell for this, but I'm +1-ing on this one.

I"m gussing this is the client right? No impact whatsoever if I'm not using windows... ?

It looks like this is fixed, assuming that it is OK to only provide the Windows 10 (not Windows 7) version. I just did a new installation from scratch and instead of the error messages I got before (like jpmurray), it now succeeds:
