Description

The latest installer that works for me is openvpn-install-2.4.12-I601-Win10.exe (https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-install-2.4.12-I601-Win10.exe)
When I try to install openvpn using newer installers starting from 2.5 I get this error:

And then this (after clicking "ok")

I uninstalled openvpn 2.4.12 and had no virtual network drivers installed before trying to install 2.5 and newer

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the failure with openvpn-install-2.5 and newer on Windows 10 x64, comparing them with openvpn-install-2.4.12-I601-Win10.exe; done means a newer installer completes successfully without pre-existing virtual network drivers.
