Re: Media Icon - Registry Controllable?

Hi John,

It ends up that I have a few scripts, but attached is the main one that
starts it up. Again, this is still growing as it currently does not do any
checks to see that OpenVPN liked the password, etc... Autoit is from :

http://www.autoitscript.com/AutoIt/

I packaged the install using ISTool so if you would like I could wrap
everything up. I won't send it here as it may not be wanted. Basically the
setup package from ISTool gets called from Autorun with /verysilent so the
user doesn't have to click anything. That spawns AutoIt with openvpn.aut
which asks via a dialog box for a password. Then, if a password is
entered, OpenVPN is installed (and the TAP device) if it isn't found, then
it is started with a config and cert off the CD where it passes the
password to the log screen. Then it hides this window.

Other small aut scripts are for shuting down OpenVPN and asking the user 
if they wish to uninstall it, showing the logging screen and hiding the 
logging screen.

Hope someone finds it usefull,
JES
