Hello. First of all sorry because I'm not actually in the topic.

I'm trying to install TAP adapter on Windows 10 AMD64.

I'm trying to install it with this command:
tapinstall.exe install OemVista.inf tap0901

And I'm getting an error "cannot acquire TAP handle".

All the files are in the tap.zip.
tap.zip

After I installed the openvpn from https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/ the error is not happen anymore. But during installation I had an error: "OpenVPNMSICA: get_net_adapter_guid: SetupDiOpenDevRegKey failed Error -536870396". I clicked "OK" for several times and installation finished successfully.

I do not need to force user to install openvpn manually. What the issue can be? Please, help. Thank you in regards.

Did you run the command in an Admin cmdline?
