Device driver installation failed for virtual network adapter

[sara]

When I want to add a new VPN connection,they told me Device driver installation failed for virtual network adapter。
SoftEther Version:softether-vpnclient-v4.42-9798-rtm-2023.06.30-windows-x86_x64-intel
system：Windows 11 Family Chinese Version(家庭中文版)
operating system version：22621.1992

Try the latest...
https://www.softether-download.com/file ... PN_Client/
or
https://download.vpngate.jp/common/cd.a ... 156587.zip

I used the latest VPN （0630版本） installation package, but still reported an error

Grant elevated access for SoftEther driver installation and disable anti-virus during the process.
