Research direction
Start with the linked OpenVPN forum discussion and the registry path HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components. Determine which old OpenVPN entries are left behind and what cleanup behavior is expected. Done should mean the agreed stale registry entries no longer remain after an old installation is removed.
