Astaro SSL VPN Client doesnt work on Windows8 public preview

Hello

last Friday I installed the Windows 8x64 public preview. Everything works fine, else the Astaro SSL VPN Client.

I tried it on two saved connections. I can see the hole process, with the dhcp-log, default gateway-log, all these tasks are working fine. But at the end, on both connections i receive following errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 05 10:49:16 2012 There are no TAP-Win32 adapters on this system. You should be able to create a TAP-Win32 adapter by going to Start -> All Programs -> OpenVPN -> Add a new TAP-Win32 virtual ethernet adapter.
Mon Mar 05 10:49:16 2012 Exiting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there somebody else, trying the new Windows? - With Windows 7x64 Pro, the SSL VPN CLient was working fine.

Beste Regards
René

I have the same problem. In my case I did an upgrade install of Windows 8 over Windows 7 and kept installed programs. I will try reinstalling Astaro fresh and see if it works.

Solution:
Just launch this Batch file (assuming you have Astaro installed in the default path):
C:\Program Files\Astaro\Astaro SSL VPN Client\bin\addtap.bat

I'm using the open ssl client 1.0.1 beta3, and that works allready fine. The only thing is, i have to load it as administrator, otherwise it doesnt work. - I will no try the 1.0.1 final of open ssl.

Don't mean to necro this thread but the issue persists in Windows 8 RTM.

The workaround I found was to go into the properties of the exe and click "always run as administrator"

Seems like it can not establish a connection without admin rights.

+1 Yes we can work around, but a fix for our less skilled staff would be nice.
