Renaming TAP driver (Windows)

Hi, I am working on a client for openvpn, and have compiled my own version of the tap-win32 driver with a different name, so that if people uninstall an existing version of openvpn, my driver is not uninstalled along with the original tap0801 driver. I have followed the instructions in the OemWin2k.inf file: ; (1) Rename all tapXXXX instances in this file to ; something different (use at least 5 characters ; for this name!) ; (2) Change the "!define TAP" definition in openvpn.nsi ; to match what you changed tapXXXX to. ; (3) Change TARGETNAME in SOURCES to match what you ; changed tapXXXX to. ; (4) Change TAP_COMPONENT_ID in common.h to match what ; you changed tapXXXX to. ; (5) Change SZDEPENDENCIES in service.h to match what ; you changed tapXXXX to. ; (6) Change DeviceDescription and Provider strings. ; (7) Change PRODUCT_STRING in constants.h to what you ; set DeviceDescription to. However for (5) in openvpn-2.1beta_rc1 there is no service.h file. The driver installs fine and is present in the registry, however when I do `openvpn.exe -show-adapters` nothing shows up, and upon connection, openvpn complains that it can find no TAP drivers, even if I specify the connection name or guid with -dev-node. Does OpenVPN need to be recompiled with some alterations to pick up the different name?

Now I report the success with OpenVPN v2.1_rc1 on winXP-SP2 as the server. Works fine, now I am able to run OpenVPN v2.1_rc1 <-> OpenVPN v2.1_rc1, i.e., on both ends of the link. Thank you again!
