Vista and Win 7: OpenVPN route problem


 OpenVPN+GUI (openvpn-2.0.9-gui-1.0.3) in client mode will connect to the remote OpenVPN server, but will not accept the routes. Error in the log is as follows:
ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry: One or more arguments are not correct. [if_index=18]
Route addition via IPAPI failed
Solution:
add the following to the end of the configuration (ovpn) file:
route-method exe
route-delay 2
Restart your VPN connection and you shall get it done.
