W7 Cannot Set IP on Network TAP Adapter

[Steven Petraglia]

I'm running Windows 7 Professional; it's probably an obscure bug, even 
though I've see this exact error on the forums.
So I'm not alone. But you're right, Microsoft's code is not worth debugging.
I can just just rename it to 'My-TAP' and that should do it.
I'll probably play with the Java Script tonight; I'll let you know.

One last thing. Is there a way to pass an option to reply 'yes' to the 
certificate mismatch?

I'm confused by this. Even OpenVPN works by spawning netsh to do the
configuration it needs — the default adapter names with spaces in seem
to work for *everyone* but you. Unless it's a more widespread issue, the
best option is just for you to rename the device. Windows is just too
painful to debug this kind of thing.
