Oh, note, this is the GUI version of openvpn. As in the one that comes 
with GUI + openvpn.


I don't think openvpn needs the certificate to be installed, the config 
file references it directly.

Installing the ca certificate is easy (required for other things), I 
used regedit to find where it got inserted in the registry, and exported 
it. As explained on some website. Tedious process, fortunately only 
needs to be done once.

For this particular certificate, it was 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\Certificates\49E864807DC46CE85C29BAF4A14AA05B90DAFEA0

      priority="0"
      execute="once">
    <install cmd='regedit /s "%SOFTWARE%\certificates\cacert.reg"' />
  </package>
</packages>
