AW: Hyper-V 2019: unable to create wintun device: no interfaces found

["Joachim Lindenberg" <wireguard@lindenberg.one>]

Hello Jason, all,
my experiments were actually roughly three weeks ago with versions .18 and .19, and that mail was somehow stuck..
Just retried with .22, and the good news is that I was able to set up a tunnel between a Hyper-V as a server and a windows client. The old error on wintun is gone. 
I didn´t have the opportunity to check with two Hyper-Vs yet, and I am also unsure whether I actually want to change the workaround (using an Ubuntu vm on either side as routers) now with the windows version in that early stage, in particular as I also had to trick wireguard to work around the dynamic IP issue most Germans face. With the Ubuntu vms I can ping the server from the client, and if it is unreachable I am pulling down the interface and then up again. This can probably also be done with the application on Windows by activating and deactivating the interface, but I definitely need this to be automated somehow, be it a script or preferably wireguard supporting dynamic ip addresses out of the box.
Thanks, Joachim

Interesting. We just reworked the Wintun installation process, to hopefully make it more reliable. Could you try again, and perhaps provide a bit of logging too?

Try running this:

msiexec /log send-to-jason-please.txt /i https://download.wireguard.com/windows-client/wireguard-amd64-0.0.22.msi
