I'm finding the same as alexxdavid, Works just fine under 8.1 64bit.
@William Windows 8 threw me quite a few curveballs when I started using it (pre-rc beta release thanks to TechNet). Have 8.1 Pro on my laptop and desktop now and while it was a learning curve (how many times was I was tempted to frisbee the laptop?) I've learned to appreciate it. And as we will eventually lose the ability to purchase workstations with Windows 7 pre-installed, IT has to lead the way. [:)]

I also have it working on 8.1, but I have a few customers where it "breaks", and there I use the Securepoint Client...although it somestimes does not work either :-/
i'm curious have you tried installing AND then executing the openvpn program in windows 7 compatibility mode? Also have you tried it with UAC off in windows 8?
Figured I'd chime back in. Yes, tried with Compat. mode, UAC Off, etc. etc. It's a known bug, Sophos is aware of it, as is the OpenVPN Open Source group... on some Windows 8 systems, it works fine, no rhyme or reason. Has to do with issues in the SSL VPN "Network Adapter" driver -- OpenVPN folks are saying they are having to make major changes to make it work 100% as I understand it... but I'm with you guys, Windows 8 has been out quite a while, they really need to fix this, as I'm sure the same issue will exist in Windows 9 when it is released.

That's why i build machines. For my clients Win7 is pre-installed. Just because the BIG boys don't preinstall doesn't mean we have to use that insane interface. There's a reason why Win9 is coming out so fast..[[:)]]
@William Building machines is great. But when you have 30+ to deploy at a time and over a hundred in play at any one time, building is no longer an option so you go with what the vendors have in stock and carefully choose models with Win7 pre-installed if they can be found.
This is not a repeat of the Dos-> win desktop mixed mode doomsday this time new things really are scary.
With that said rather than get into a dissusion about why windows 8 is or is not great can we try to figure out an answer the orginal question
Is there a ticket number I can call and ask about or some sort of eta for this, I keep thinking its going to get fixed in an update (9.2 was my guess) but nada
