hello Sir,

When I am executing the openvpn.exe in command prompt it shows an dll error such that"The procedure entry point could not be located in the library WS2_32".

But the following dll is already avaliable in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ws2_32.dll location. when I tried to execute the openvpn.exe in command prompt then I got the error.

Please help me short out the problem.
Thank you

I dont know anything about this dll, but registering the dll using regsvr32 first could help you out.
