I'm also getting this error. I had OpenVPN 2.5.3 previously installed on this system a year ago. Now I need OpenVPN again and I can't install 2.5.7 because of this error.

Can you try manually removing all traces of any previous tap-windows6 adapters as outlined here in the Debugging section:

I wanted to add that the error only appears when selecting to install the Wintun driver. When I select only the Tap driver, installation is successful.
