v.2.7.0 on Windows 11 | "Missing: C:/Progra~1/Openvpn/bin/openssl.exe" #306

Closed TheSwede86 closed 12 months ago

Microsoft Windows 11 Version: 22H2 Build: 22621.2283

OpenVPN 2.6.6 installed at: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN

easy-rsa (v.3.1.6) extracted at: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa

easy-tls (v.2.7.0) extracted at: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa (so all the files are extracted in the root directory of "easy-rsa")

Hello,

Using these instructions: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/EasyRSA3-OpenVPN-Howto I am currently stuck at the following step: Initialise Easy-TLS:

1) Starting CMD 2) cd "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa" 3) .\EasyRSA-Start.bat (which starts the "EasyRSA Shell", subsequent commands are invoked in this shell) 4) ./easytls init-tls returns:

Missing: C:/Progra~1/Openvpn/bin/openssl.exe
Errors occurred!

I tried to copy "openssl.exe" from C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa to C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin but then I received this error:

OPENSSL_Uplink(00007FF92A32CAC8,08): no OPENSSL_Applink
Easy-TLS 2.7.0
OpenVPN 2.6.6

Error: Missing or invalid OpenSSL:

I've tried checking this link: https://github.com/TinCanTech/easy-tls/wiki/Windows-Requirements which seems to indicate that the path C:\Program Files\ should work even though it contain spaces.

Any ideas?

Best Regards

@TheSwede86 Hi, by the look of your instructions, I think you are trying to use the OpenSSL version shipped with Easy-RSA by putting it into the bin directory of OpenVPN. Which means you are mixing binary and DLL files that are not matched.

If that is the case then remove Easy-RSA and only use the version shipped with OpenVPN.

Thank you for your reply.

Thing is that the only openssl.exe I found in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN was the one in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa. I did a search for openssl.exe in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN and that was the only match I received.

I checked in the root of: C:\Program Files\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\ and couldn't find any directory named OpenSSL (if OpenVPN would install it to a separate directory).

To use easytls, installing OpenVPN is a hard requirement.

When you install OpenVPN, select Custom Installation and select Easy-RSA to be installed with OpenVPN.

Thank you, I had OpenVPN installed but copied "easy-rsa" and "easy-tls" to that directory and that caused the error. When installing "easy-rsa" when installing OpenVPN using the "Custom Installation"-alternative then "easy-tls" worked perfectly.
