NTFS by default is not case sensitive so Windows treats C:\Program Files\OpenVPN and c:\program files\openvpn paths as equal. Taking this into account, this MR should not lower security. It fixed #296 in our case.

You "by default" here. So that would mean that this would introduce a vulnerability if it that is not the case.

From what I found, Windows currently doesn't allow to set case-sensitivity for entire drive, so unless software is installed to Program Files (or any other protected folder) we should be ok.
