This is auto updated, based on estimated size of a text string.
Instead of using the EN sizes, they were recalculated based on translated text.

I can't verify each dialog for each language manual.

Please check.

@VersusBG: ResX Resource Manager is designed for .NET .resx files, not native C++ .rc files. So you can’t directly open or translate .rc files with it.
Will not work.

I imported the changes (pos/size) from EN in all other .rc files (automated).

Looks more complicated then initial though, The FileTransfer is GUI based, simulating the UI handling using commandline will take more time.

@VersusBG: Manual merged all except MSI.
Currently, I use a MSI Wrapper around the Inno Setup, so I don't need to maintain MSI and Inno Setup.
The MSI Wrapper also takeover all Inno Setup settings that are mssing in the MSI via a deployment project.

Look in the service manager if uvnc_service is installed. Commands to install the manual service:

Current not, all needed to be redone and it's still work in progress...
Good for telling the check doesn't work...

basso : When you share the same Server with multiple clients they all show the the same desktop.
VNC clones a desktop, it isn't like an RDP Server where all sessions have there own desktop.
