Hello David,

I think that's not the right location.

Use
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.getfolderpath.aspx

with this constant
CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA to locate system/language independant:
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494.aspx
and than create OpenVPN\temp at this location.

Windows has no special temp location that is "allowed" from MS.

greetings
Carsten
