We provide a customized, simple to use, client for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7and 8. (Windows 2000 workaround: see bottom of page) 

* Note: If you have installed a previous version, you will want to exit the service from the tray icon (right click).* On windows XP simply run it. On Vista, run it as Administrator (this is important). In Windows 7, it should ask for administrator automatically. The defaults should work for everyone.* To install in Windows 8/10 run it as Administrator. "right click" on the file HDAconnect.exe -> Run as a administrator. (tested on Win 8 64bits)* Once install is complete, you will need to follow the [[VPNWindows#Updated_Client_Certificates|Updated Client Certificates]] guidance or you will not be able to connect to your HDA.<br />[[Image:Runasadmin.png]]* Click on "Continue Anyway" warning for the driver, if any.

This folder doesn't exist on Windows 2000 where xxx is the same as your OpenVPN config file name, where this will be executed BEFORE the systemfolder OpenVPN tunnel is called 'WINNT'established. As  Connect If a result, file named "xxx_up.bat" exist in the config folder where xxx is the install workssame as your OpenVPN config file name, but this will be executed AFTER the connection will not workOpenVPN tunnel is established. As  Disconnect If a workaround, create file named "xxx_down.bat" exist in the config folder 'C:\windows\system32' and copy 'route.exe' from where xxx is the 'C:\WINNT\system32' folder into it. after same as your OpenVPN config file name, this HDAconnect3 should work on Windows 2000.
