From: Samuli Seppänen <[email protected]...>
OpenVPN 2.3.10 includes an OpenVPN-GUI which automatically requests elevation of privileges using UAC. Modified INSTALL-win32.txt to reflect this behavior.

I wonder if these bits should not be removed from the INSTALL-win32.txt we ship in the main openvpn repo - since this is a gui thing and happens totally outside the main repo... move it to the windows build tree, maybe, and show it from the installer upon installation?

Hi,
Looking at the the full contents of INSTALL-win32.txt your suggestion makes sense. I'll migrate the file to openvpn-build and then send a removal patch for openvpn/INSTALL-win32.txt.
