How to rename TAP-Windows Adapter V9?

[Zhirui-Zhang]

Hello, I'm trying to change default adapter name from TAP-Windows Adapter V9 to another one to avoid collision. I tried to modify version.m4 file like this:

dnl define the TAP version
define([PRODUCT_NAME], [MyTest])
define([PRODUCT_PACKAGE_NAME], [mytest])
define([PRODUCT_PUBLISHER], [OpenVPN Technologies, Inc.])
define([PRODUCT_VERSION], [9.27.0])
define([PRODUCT_VERSION_RESOURCE], [9,27,0,0])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_COMPONENT_ID], [testtest])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_MAJOR], [9])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_MINOR], [27])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_REVISION], [0])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_BUILD], [0])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_PROVIDER], [MyTest Provider])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_CHARACTERISTICS], [0x1])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_DEVICE_DESCRIPTION], [MyTest Adapter])
define([PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_RELDATE], [02/27/2024])

Then I compiled this project successfully with command

python2 buildtap.py --ti=devcon --sdk=WDK -b -p

got these files in dist/amd64 folder

OemVista.inf
tapinstall.exe
testtest.cat
testtest.sys

When I input command .\tapinstall.exe install .\OemVista.inf testtest as Administrator, got this error

Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...
Updating drivers for testtest from D:\workspace\TAP-Windows\tap-windows6\dist\amd64\OemVista.inf.
tapinstall.exe failed

Tried to find solution but still failed, what else could I do, thanks for help!

Btw, I tried to follow instructions provided in OemVista.inf, but I cannot find files like openvpn.nsi, SOURCES, common.h, service.h, is this file outdated or just my compilation error?

you can use the script to rename it:
try {
Rename-NetAdapter -Name $Adapter.Name -NewName $NewAdapterName -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Output "rename adapter: $NewAdapterName"
} catch {
Write-Error "rename adapter fail: $_"
exit 1
}
Hope this helps
