OpenVPN failed connection / All TAP-Win32 adapters on this system are currently in use

adapter, networking, openvpn, vpn, windows

Solution

I found a solution to this. It's bloody witchcraft, but it works.

When you install the client, open Control Panel > Network Connections.

You'll see a disabled network connection that was added by the TAP installer (Local Area Connection 3 or some such).

Right Click it, click Enable.

The device will not reset itself to enabled, but that's ok; try connecting w/ the client again. It'll work.
