Description

I built OpenVPN 3 client for Windows according to this guide: link
I run this command:
.\ovpnagent.exe install
.\ovpnagent.exe run
I got this error: "ovpnagent: Cannot read HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\omi_exe_path: The system cannot find the file specified."
How to fix this? Thanks!!

Start with the Windows build and installation steps in README.rst, then inspect how ovpnagent.exe install and run use the HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\omi_exe_path registry value. Reproduce the reported command sequence and determine why that value cannot be read. Done means the Windows client installs and runs without this error.
