EasyRSA-Start.bat PATH error about openvpn-build HOT 12 CLOSED

@FreeBeing11 @chipitsine Could you try out this build (don't forget to install EasyRSA component) and see if problem is solved for you?

Hi Istipakov,

Thank you for this new OpenVPN build, with a new "EasyRSA-Start.bat" script.

I tried that on Windows 10 22H2 x64 (French), and it works, thank you ;)

With EasyRSA Shell, now I obtain this PATH with "set" command :
PATH='C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/easy-rsa;C:/Program Files/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Users\Maxime\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin'

Now, PATH is right, and "openssl.exe" can be used directly.

Thanks a lot.

This issue has already been reported:
OpenVPN/easy-rsa#926 (comment)

from openvpn-build.

Moving this to the openvpn-build repo, because it's something in the "build installer" process that is buggy, not "a bug in openvpn"

from openvpn-build.

I cannot reproduce it, tried on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

c:\>ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2728]

c:\>FOR /F "tokens=2*" %a IN ('REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN" /ve') DO echo KEY: %b

c:\>echo KEY: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\
KEY: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\

I don't have REG_SZ in output and EasyRSA-Start.bat works just fine.

@chipitsine @TinCanTech do you have any ideas what might be wrong?

from openvpn-build.

Interesting. I'll have a look

from openvpn-build.

What Windows version is this exactly? My current guess is that it's a national language thing, based on the output I get from my test machines (german/english language versions) that return

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN
   (Standard)   REG_SZ   C:\Program Files\OpenVPN

... which is parsed just fine, but I assume that if the (standard) part gets turned into something with a blank in it, the FOR parser will fail, and include the REG_SZ into the string afterwards...

So, @FreeBeing11 , can you run the REG QUERY ... /ve command from the script (only the query) and show us your results?

from openvpn-build.

I have slightly different output (Finnish/English):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN
    (Default)    REG_SZ    C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\

from openvpn-build.

But it's still "3 columns". I guess the original poster has something like (some thing) REG_SZ ... with a blank in, so the parsing "give me field 3+" will then include REG_SZ...

Is there a way to change the FOR statement to do "give me all after REG_SZ" instead?

Here is an output from colleague's machine:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.2728]
(c) Корпорация Майкрософт (Microsoft Corporation). Все права защищены.

C:\Users\diach>REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" /ve

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
    (по умолчанию)    REG_SZ

I am not too much into batch, but let's try to find a solution.
