Installing WAN miniport PPTP

Need to set up VPN (PPTP) and for some reason, I don't have the pptp driver
listed. Where does it come from? And how might I reinstall it? THANKS!

You may need to uninstall/reinstall TCP/IP. This search result may help,

Thanks for your reply. I did an uninstall/reinstall of TCP last night. The
machine is a DC, so it was a chore. It DID install the IP miniport, but left
out the PPTP. Should I try again? Does this miniport come from installing
TCP/IP?

Thanks again (this is a real headache)

Good news:

I saw this somewhere and it worked.

From a CMD prompt, run this:

devcon.exe install c:\windows\inf\netrasa.inf MS_PptpMiniport
