Activate failed: Failed to find the tap device in registry with specified ComponentId 'tap0901', TAP driver may be not installed

The docs don't mention the need for a TAP driver. Which driver is recommended?

Doh! Are you on Windows, by chance? If so, installing OpenVPN will add a tuntap driver we can use. I'll keep this issue open and update the docs. We also need a better solution for installation on windows.

Yes, this particular machine is a Windows machine (I meant to mention that). Thanks!

Circling back to confirm that installing OpenVPN did indeed solve the issue.

Thanks to the pointer to a standalone driver! We'll use this in the documentation.
