error: cannot initialize a variable of type 'wchar_t *' with an lvalue of type 'const wchar_t [4]'
wchar_t *protocol_str = (udp ? L"UDP" : L"TCP");

The "session created" and "session deleted" messages were useful when a single OPENVPN_SERVER object handled multiple UDP sessions.
Now that each session has its own OPENVPN_SERVER object and session creations/deletions are logged by PROTO, the messages are redundant.
In future we will change the OpenVPN implementation so that the multi-session handling code is deleted.
The messages were like this:
OpenVPN Module: The OpenVPN Server Module is starting.
OpenVPN Session 1 (192.168.122.211:47390 -> 0.0.0.0:1194): A new session is created. Protocol: UDP
OpenVPN Session 1 (192.168.122.211:47390 -> 0.0.0.0:1194): Deleting the session.
OpenVPN Module: The OpenVPN Server Module is stopped.
ProtoHandleDatagrams() takes care of deleting a session if marked as halted.
However, the check is performed when a packet for that session is received; that never happens if the remote host doesn't send at least a packet.
This commit fixes the issue by moving the check into the loop that iterates through all sessions.
ProtoOptionsGet command - Lists the options for the specified protocol
Help for command "ProtoOptionsGet"
Purpose:
Lists the options for the specified protocol
Description:
This command can be used to retrieve the options for a specific protocol.
Detailed info (e.g. value type) will be shown.
You can change an option's value with the ProtoOptionsSet command.
Usage:
ProtoOptionsGet [protocol]
Parameters:
protocol - Protocol name.
ProtoOptionsSet command - Sets an option's value for the specified protocol
Help for command "ProtoOptionsSet"
Purpose:
Sets an option's value for the specified protocol
Description:
This command can be used to change an option's value for a specific protocol.
You can retrieve the options using the ProtoOptionsGet command.
To execute this command, you must have VPN Server administrator privileges.
Usage:
ProtoOptionsSet [protocol] [/NAME:option_name] [/VALUE:string/true/false]
Parameters:
protocol - Protocol name.
/NAME - Option name.
/VALUE - Option value. Make sure to write a value that is accepted by the specified protocol!
PROTO_OPTION is a structure that describes an option (who would've guessed?).
It's designed in a way that allows it to occupy as low memory as possible, while providing great flexibility.
The idea is similar to the one implemented in LIST for trivial types, with the difference that PROTO_OPTION doesn't require casting due to the use of union.
AppVeyor provides vcpkg and a great guide explaining how to use it and cache the installed packages: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/lang/cpp/#vc-packaging-tool
However, we're currently relying on Azure Pipelines for the Windows builds and keeping one on AppVeyor would be a waste of CI resources.
This commit also changes the x86 build so that it uses the "amd64_x86" toolchain, for potentially better build performance.
The architecture is now appended to the installers.
The purpose of the configuration was to build installers and continually verify that MSVC 2008 could still build the project.
MSVC 2008 was a requirement because we wanted to maintain support for very old versions of Windows (9x).
During the past few years we encountered many annoying limitations due to that requirement, such as the lack of support for designated initializers.
We ended up deciding to only keep support for operating systems older than 7 in the stable repository.
As for the installers, we now build them on Azure Pipelines (currently with MSVC 2019).
The reason why we don't build these two targets is that they're not used.
More specifically: they require proper configuration to work correctly, which is currently missing.
While vpninstall may be worth salvaging, vpnweb is definitely a relict of the past because it relies on ActiveX.
vpndrvinst is the name of the target and thus the default output name, let's use it.
`vpndrvinst.exe" also sounds less fishy than "driver_installer.exe"...
BuildUtil compiles the project as 32 bit and 64 bit, before building the installer package.
64 bit binaries have the "_x64" suffix and are added to the package alongside the 32 bit ones (that have no suffix).
The CMake project compiles the binaries for a single architecture and they have no suffix.
We decided that providing two separate installers is the best solution.
As for the binaries with the "_ia64" suffix: they never existed during the this repository's lifespan.
The MSBuild project built the binary into "src/bin/hamcore", causing it to be added to "hamcore.se2".
As hinted by the name of the file ("vpnsetup_nosign.exe"), it is not signed by BuildUtil, possibly to save time (the setup package is signed).
The CMake project builds the binary in the same directory as the other ones, allowing the setup to install them without the need to build a package.
