which thing i need to browse?

or do i need to done it in risk way with turn my UAC setting to never notice?

You need to run the client as administrator. Then when the UAC prompt comes up while creating the network driver, you just need to accept.

it still won't work, i guess the problem is on my computer, i think i give up

Do you use any security software?

Avast security software, windows firewall active.
windows defender never active

I think re-installing Virtual Network Adapter Device Driver after uninstalling the security software may be effective sometime.

Connected to VPN Client "localhost".

VPN Client>niccreate vpn0
NicCreate command - Create New Virtual Network Adapter
Error occurred. (Error code: 31)
Installation of the Virtual Network Adapter device driver failed.

tried the following:
Run:

sudo ./vpnclient stop
ps -fade | grep vpnclient

And make sure no vpnclient service is running (sudo kill it if necessary).
If you want to see what processes are running use the command
ps -ef

If you want to look up all processes by user bob, this might help

pgrep -l -u root
or
ps -ef | grep root


Then make sure you run vpnclient as root:

sudo ./vpnclient start

And try to recreate the NIC using vpncmd. Works for me.
sudo ./vpncmd
niccreate
