What is the process to install *just* the openvpn *client* on Windows?

I just want to find a Windows tutorial for installing *just* the openvpn
client software. 

Of course, I went to the openvpn web site and read their FAQ, but there
isn't a SINGLE Q&A asking this most basic of questions.
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/faq.html

Of course, there are tutorials at that same web site, but they suffer from
the same problem, which is that they *assume* you want to also install the
openvpn server (which I don't):
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#install

All I want is a tutorial for installing *just* the openvpn client!

Googling, all I see are *SERVER* setups:
http://www.vpnbook.com/howto/setup-openvpn-on-windowsxp
http://strongvpn.com/setup_windows_xp_openvpn.html
https://www.cactusvpn.com/tutorials/how-to-set-up-openvpn-vpn-on-windows-xp/

Do I have to install the (far more complex) server setup before I can use
the client?

All I want is to have the "openvpn --config filename.ovpn" command so that
I can load in existing free public vpn server configuration files from the
likes of vpngate.net and others out there.

Please help.
