OpenVPN - Issues running as non admin

I am really sorry, I didn't mean to put this on this forum. Was adding it to another one and copy and pasted it into the wrong tab. I apologize and this thread can be closed.

I had posted about this a while ago but had a few new questions with some comments that I would really appreciate some input on.

I am using a custom OpenVPN install using 7zip. It installs the program and unzips the keys and configuration files to the correct location. This is being installed by an administrator and needs to work for non admin users. Before there was an issue about not pushing the routes correctly and I am going to get around that by adding the users to the Network Config group which will allow them to add routes but not a whole lot more power. Now I am getting the error "Error opening logfile for writing C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\log\client.log. You probably don't have administrator privileges, which are necessary to run OpenVPN." Is there anyway around this? OpenVPN still works even though this error occurs so is there anyway to just turn the error off (changing verb to 0 does not work) or recompile it to ignore this error? Is there anyway to change the logging location to event viewer or another directory such as C:\Users\%currentuser%\OpenVPN.log (when I try to do this with log or log-append option it throws another error and doesn't work so I would prefer event viewer so there wouldn't be any permission issues).

is this running on windows? because if it is, this is a linux forum, you will likely get better help on a windows forum
