Windows 2000/XP has a bug that it cannot properly detect new hardware by. You may try to add a new Tap adapter manually, e.g. If your TAP-Win32 driver installation fails with a message such as 'The system cannot find the file specified', its possible that your registry is missing the all-important RunOnce Key.
