Go to link download and install: OpenVPNPortable_1.6.6.paf.exe
This includes OpenVPN 2.1.1 and works great.
Go to link and download: openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe
Using 7Zip, extracted the 2.2.2 installer to a folder (some files for x86/x64 will overwrite - this is ok, we aren't using these.)
Copy the following files from unzipped folder:
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 1,098,240 libeay32.dll
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 63,488 libpkcs11-helper-1.dll
12/11/2009 06:48 PM 97,280 libssl32.dll
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 90,112 lzo2.dll
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 372,224 openssl.exe
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 510,464 openvpn.exe
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 14,848 openvpnserv.exe
12/15/2011 12:29 PM 237,568 ssleay32.dll
8 File(s) 2,484,224 bytes
to...
P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\libeay32.dll P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\libpkcs11-helper-1.dll P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\libssl32.dll P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\lzo2.dll P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\openssl.exe P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\openvpn.exe P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\openvpnserv.exe P:\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\app\bin\ssleay32.dll
(assuming portable drive is "P:" - overwrite 6 of the 8 files)
Now when running "OpenVPNPortable.exe", you will see 2.2.2 in lieu of 2.1.1
Tested on Win7 Ultimate & WinXP Pro

Ok, used the link provided to get OpenVPNPortable_1.6.6.paf.exe, then used the link provided to get openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe and extracted that. Replaced the files suggested noticing that libssl32.dll is not included in openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe, so I had to use the original. I got the following error message:
You need at least one *.ovpn file on C:\Portable\PortableApps\OpenVPNPortable\data\config\ for a working VPN. Please check your configuration
So I deleted OpenVPNPortable from my PortableApps directory and reinstalled OpenVPNPortable_1.6.6.paf.exe. Wouldn't you know it, I got the same error.
I was going to do this then run PA.com's Installer to get a current PA Install, to copy to my Dropbox, to share with anyone that wanted it. What am I doing wrong? Anyone know??? If I can get this working, I will be posting a link to the update version here.

you need some config file for your connection to your destination server, otherwise things like open vpn do not work.

So, if I packaged it using PA's Installer, it should work for someone else?

what you need is config file for it to work.
For that you will need to consult the manual of open vpn and how to create an config file for a particular connection.
Then it should work.

thanks for this guide, this is a must have thing - portable openvpn.
I've tested it in win xp and win 7 64bit, works flawlessly.
Do you have a release plan for a version 2.xx?
some notes:
On my system I need to use the drivers delivered by the portable app because there are no tap drivers installed. If i use the original ones included in the portable app, i get an error claiming that the drivers are too old. (9.6
why you want to create something that already exists?

I have unzipped openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe as instructed. The bin folder does not contain libssl32.dll. Is this an issue?
