Does vpnc work on Windows?

I've just added Win32 support to OpenConnect, and I'm having difficulty
with configuring the network.

If I configure the IP addresses manually in the GUI for my test VPN
connection, it's fine. But using the 'netsh' command line that
vpnc-script-win.js would use is failing:

C:\>netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection 3" static 172.31.255.100 255.255.255.0
Element not found

C:\>

This is Windows 7 64-bit, with the latest Windows-TAP driver from
OpenVPN (9.9).

When was the last time this was tested with vpnc?

Hi David,

I personally never tested vpnc on Windows.
In the repository the last patch in that direction is from mid 2008.
Did not reveived any message on this topic.

Thanks. In fact I think this was just Windows being Windows. Installing
a *new* TAP device did work, but configuring the old one with netsh
never did.
