    Article summary

    If you want to silently install Ecatcher, there are some extra steps you have to take.

    Normally when you install Ecatcher, you get an extra popup to allow the installer to allow and install TAP-Windows Provider Network Adapters. If you don’t install this device software first, the unattended OpenVPN installation will fail.

    To be able to do a silent install of Ecatcher, you first have to install or inject the ‘TAP-Windows Provider Network Adapers Certificate’.
    You can obtain this certificate on a Windows machine where OpenVPN is installed.

    Follow this method.

    Exporting the certificate:

    1. Install OpenVPN on a test-machine or VM.
    2. Start certmgr.msc
    3. Locate the OpenVPN certificate in the ‘Trusted Publishers’ –> ‘Certificates’ section.
    4. Double-click the ‘OpenVPN’ certificate.
    5. Click the ‘Details’ tab.
    6. Click ‘Copy to file’.
    7. Accept the Wizard defaults and choose a location and filename for the certificate.
    8. Copy the .cer file to a save place outside the test-machine.

    Importing the certificate:

    1. On the machine or image where you want the certificate installed, open an elevated command prompt.
    2. Type: certutil -addstore TrustedPublisher [drive][path][certificate] ( E.g: certutil -addstore TrustedPublisher c:\test\openvpn.cer)
    3. You will see a message when the certificate is successfully installed.

    You can now do a silent install of Ecatcher.
