UltraVNC

Update - see first post added file links for my current version..

includes Radeon's aero disable etc

versions posted are the ones i use on a day to day basis supporting my clients

i use the autoit primarily but fall back to the z if an over-zealous antivirus kills the autoit

@brainwave64
my sc is around 490k but i have not really played around too much with compression (gotta get time to do that), also i compile with ansi support for backward to 98 compatability that may make it slightly larger i don't know...
the biggest thing with mine is that it is replaceable while ...

@brainwave64

:-)

not to burst your bubble but the only reason i did not do the batch file in autoit was size.

i use autoit to wrap the whole product so as to make the initial exe replaceable while connected. including an autoit script inside involves adding around 300k to an already larger-than ...

dyndns has a url that you can hit to update your ip so you just add that to your fav and click it to make dyndns point to you :-)

the other way around being at differing locations all the time involves using a repeater either one of the ones provided by uvnc or setup your own on a static box ...

personally i have mine setup on a dyndns address so i just change that and point it to wherever i am.

i have not taken much notice but i don't think you get a prompt when aero is turned back on.. you just get the aero effects back..ie transparent title bar etc.

the aero should return to it's ...

easiest way i have found to get computername is open a cmd promt and type "hostname"

having the computername you are connected to in the statusbar would require code changes to the winvnc.exe and/or the vncviewer.exe niether of which have been modified during the course of this thread.

you could ...

just cleaned my autoit version for realease..

- uses radeon's aero.exe (renamed to aero_disable.exe as aero.exe has potential to conflict and 'taskkill /im aero.exe' could kill a process that we didn't mean to kill)
- Disables 'PromptOnSecureDesktop' and also 'ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin' (if ...

i was actually thinking the very same thing myself after posting...

i posted right before i left work and thought of that on the way home - your post (and the notification of it) reminded me

rofl...

i was playing around trying to find a way around UAC prompts being inaccessable to the vncviewer...

found that if you change the reg key "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin" to 0 you get no prompt just full admin rights... ie run a prog as admin and up it comes full admin no prompt :-) (and no ...

radeon ... nice work !!

it seems we have cracked it and vista is finally supportable via vnc

i have edited my version since posting original one to use an autoit wrapper instead of a straight 7z one so that the initial exe can be repaced while connected (handy for "helping" clients with updates ...

looks like this has picked up a lot - have have been busy over the last few days so i have not had a chance to give radeon's solution a try.

regards to firewall issues... ARRRRRRGGGH... that said i have had all sorts of issues over the years with damn firewalls... most of the time the pc does not ...

Radeon,

go for it....

the code is there to share... i would like to try your proggy myself i am starting to get frustrated with trying different things and have kinda put it in the too hard basket for the moment
:-)


btw if anyone is wondering why i don't use pchelpware frankly the viewer side is ...

yeah i would say that the driver is not x64 compatible

is there even an x64 driver available yet?
...


btw still having problems with connection after a reboot - the driver does no fully activate again - i need some way of reactivating the driver (re-install over the top does not work)

removal of ...

erm " last updated in 2006 "

the link is pointing to a thread i created like 2 weeks ago...

still has issues but....

verified problem

if you completly remove the driver (requires reboot)
and run my version again it works flawlessly

can anyone tell me how to re-activate the driver or remove it without reboot?

re-activation would be the better solution...

i will have a play around myself but any info would be ...

imho what you are trying to achieve is not only dificult and time consuming but is completely useless anyway

even if you do get an ecrypted helpdesk.txt file and get it working and completely stop decompile to get at it...

all the end user has to do is netstat.

netstat will show all the currently ...

... not possible

the sc exe is an archive that simply exctracts the files you see into a temp directory and runs winvnc.exe... the winvnc.exe in there is a customised version that will read the helpdesk.txt and then display the gui.

you could wrap the files into a different installer - eg NSIS or ...

i have been having a small issue with this not being quite as smooth after rebooting the vista machine and running it again...


has anyone else seen this happen...
could anyone shed some light on it?

could it be that the driver does not stay correctly installed?

i could remove the driver after ...

I have no vista to check at the moment but when I look into your code I see you set some registry keys and install a driver. The question I have is do you need administrator privileges to do this or may a simply user also install this. Second question is where need I the diver for.

yes you do ...

i was under the impression that the addon driver turned off aero but i could be mistaken (not got an aero vista to check)


Any more feedback - I would like to know if what i have done has been worth it..

also if anyone has problems or suggestions i am open to discussion.

btw around 50ppl have ...

yes but the install of vnc just dont put icons on desktop or start menu and dont make it run as a service and there is really not a whole lot left

try installing the full UVNC v1.0.4RC5 on the pc that you are connecting to and then use the singleclick it seems to work for me in getting the full dualscreen view working...

....::::UPDATE::::....

This thread has gone nuts... :-) To be perfectly honest i am no longer really working in the tech support industry much anymore but needed to fix up an SC for a friend (and of course did not have a copy of the setup anymore :-)... ) jumped on here to take a look (and grab a ...
