DESCRIPTION #
This function downloads and installs the latest version of OpenVPN. If the -install switch is specified, it checks if OpenVPN is already installed. If it is, a warning is displayed and the installation is skipped. If the -openVpnMsi parameter is specified, it installs OpenVPN using the provided MSI file instead of downloading a new one. The function also supports an optional -full switch, which installs additional components required for certificate creation on servers. When downloading the client from the community website, the latest client for Windows 64 bit AMD systems is always used.
