UltraVNC

Hi guys

Can someone please point me to the Offline SC Creator Tool as I cant find it in the downloads.


Thanks

Dam that's a shame.

I don't know how he found time with all the beers we was sending him....lol

So what has everyone switched to ?

Hi guys

I've not been on here for a while and was just wondering if chunk has been abandoned as it doesn't look like its been updated in a long time?


Also is it still working with window 8.1?

Put #RequireAdmin at the top of the InstantSupport.au3 file and recompile.

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/keywords/RequireAdmin.htm

Keep in mind, I do not suggest doing this.



Thanks for that mate, ill give it a go ;)


What are the negative impacts when running in admin mode apart ...

gunsmoke,

What OS were you testing with?
Did you reboot after changing the UAC setting?
Try enabling UAC, reboot, Disable UAC, reboot, try again.

At this point I'd have to guess it's an issue with either your settings or testing methodology.

Feel free to modify the code to suit your needs, I ...

That's how UAC works, programs run in user mode can't touch programs in administrative mode.
When you first start InstantSupport it's in user mode, installing as a service changes it to administrative.
The only way around is to disable UAC.

I'm not sure why the desktop icon would not be showing ...

If its not one thing its another :(



I've managed to change the captions without it crashing (i still don't know how i did it) but now i have a couple more problems.


When I'm connected to a remote computer I'm finding a lot of the time i loose control and need to call up the person and ask them ...

Best bet there would be to compile UltraVNC itself from source after making the changes. Sorry I can't help you much there as my c++ skills are rusty but I'm sure Rudi could help if you run into trouble.

BTW: Adam Walling is the mastermind behind the SecureVNC plugin that I use for encryption ...

That makes sense, the compiler relies on specific window names in order to do its thing, if you changed it it will hang there waiting for the "right" window to enter settings into.

Resource editing could be considered advanced, you'll need a clear understanding of how the compiler works so take a ...

lol, I know my programming well. ;)

The background should be disabled when you connect a viewer.
You can double check the setting in the SRC\InstantSupport_Files\ultravnc.ini file, look for RemoveWallpaper=1.
Keep in mind this does not disable 3rd party background managers.

I use XNResourceEditor ...

Are you using the 3.3.1 InstantSupport that you compiled?
Being limited to 8 chars tells me that InstantSupport.exe isn't using the SecureVNC plugin.

Be certain that you are not mixing the old viewer/server with the new.




How did you work that one out....lol

It must have been when i was ...

InstantSupport.au3 LINE 21
$str_Program_Title = "Instant Support"

Come on, did you even look? :surprise:


Thanks again mate.

I did look but i was searching for window and frame.....lol




I've managed to get everything connecting to the repeater now but i have a new problem.


In the compiler ...

Triple check your settings and keep in mind that the default server port changed to 443.
Something has to be different...

If all else fails please post your compile settings, be sure to block out a portion of your ip address/dns name.


Thanks mate i think I'm getting somewhere ;)


Can you let ...

Sounds like you answered your question, connection to the repeater was not possible.

With version 3.3.1 InstantSupport and ChunkViewer will make a socket connection to the repeater to see if it's available.
The default timeout on is a bit long but I was to lazy to figure a way around that ...

It should, my main development machine is 7 64bit.

Could you post more info about the crash? Is there an error message? At what point does it crash?


Sorry i should have explained a bit better but i thought that maybe it just didn't work with win 64...



The compiler work ok but the viewer ...

As the title says.

I've been trying to get it to run on windows 7 64bit but it keeps crashing (the viewer and the server).

The only thing that seems to work is the repeater ...lol

gunsmoke,

Sorry man, I'm getting so confused here I don't know what to tell you anymore....

Basically what it boils down to is if you want to change the software that much you need to have a good understanding of the source code.
Although I offer ChunkVNC as an open source project and encourage ...

Sorry, I'd have to dive into it if that doesn't work and I simply don't have time to do that.

I still don't understand why you'd want to rename that executable?

Ok thanks for all your help anyway mate ;)

Its a shame because i managed to get one of the old releases working how i wanted ...

Many lines need to be changed but a simple solution is this:

Open SRC\InstantSupport.au3 and do a find replace for "InstantSupportVNC.exe" and name it "Whateveryouwant.exe"

I guess the question really is, why do you want to change the name of that file?


Thanks for the reply mate but that doesn ...

InstantSupportVNC.exe is simply the UltraVNC Server (winvnc.exe) renamed.

Anything can be changed to your liking, just take a peak at the source code.
I prefer using the AutoIT editor SciTE but notepad++ works well also.

You'll find everything you're looking for in the SRC\InstantSupport.au3 file ...

LINE 359 in SRC\InstantSupport.au3

Func InstallService()

; Copy files.
FileCopy( @ScriptDir & "\*.*", @ProgramFilesDir & "\InstantSupport\", 9 )

; Create uninstall link on All Users desktop.
FileCreateShortcut( @ProgramFilesDir & '\InstantSupport\InstantSupport.exe', @DesktopCommonDir ...

I asked this question when chunk was first released but i cant find the thread now..

How can i change the name that is given to the uninstall file that's put on the desktop after chunk is installed as a service?


Thanks

Thanks mate

No zip at this time but you could just install it, zip up the folder in program files and uninstall.

Really I preferred having a compressed file for distributing the program but it seemed like a lot of users wanted an installer.
ChunkVNC will run anywhere it has admin rights and isn't dependent ...

Is there a stand alone package (one that doesn't need to be installed) for the new 3.3.1 version of chunk ?

I had a chance to have another go at it today and i think I'm getting somewhere.

The only problem now is that I'm getting this error:





The thing is , I've not changed any of the icon files.


Any ideas?

??

I dont think so

Thanks ill give it a go


I have a new problem ......

For some reason I'm getting this message after i use the "instantsupport” file:






Any ideas?

Thank for the reply ;)


So would i just need to edit the parts in red?
