Prerequisites

• [X] I have written a descriptive issue title.
• [X] I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• [X] I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

openvpn-connect

Expected/Current Behaviour

I expected openvpn-connect client to connect to my openvpn server, but it did not. Using winget I installed openvpn-connect and using same .opvn file successfully connected. I encountered this issue previously, but thought I'd give it a try after reinstalling OS. My workaround was to use winget, but I thought someone might want to know what I encountered.

Steps to Reproduce

Fresh install of scoop and extras bucket
openvpn-connect starts fine and asks for a .opvn file
import the "known good" .opvn file
connection times out
winget install of openvpn-connect
import .opvn file
connection good
uninstall scoop version of openvpn-connect

#Everything is identical except for the installation process#

this is because of that the msi installer will request a administer permission to create TAP, without it openvpn-connect could not create a virtual network. I checked the openvpn-connect‘s json file, and i didn't found any script, looks like such action. And I don't know how to add such permission request in scoop, sorry for that I cannot help you.

---- update ----

there is a driver folder under the install location for openvpn-connect, anyone may have this problem could try manual install a correct version, this may help
