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.

The password is saved in ultravnc.ini.

For 1.6.4.0:
Sometimes write permission can block writing to password to the file
Copy UltraVNC Server (winvnc.exe) to a temporary folder

This create a new .ini file in the ...

When "Administration password" is configured and [v] user can access is configured -> clicking "Settings" asks "Administration password" to open.

Only when the user is a ...

Sonderzzz : I don't understand your question.

When UltraVNC runs as Service, the .ini file is in %ProgramData% and it can be edited locally by someone with permission to write to that file.
A user can not change that file unless he is administrator. If the user is administrator, he does what he ...

no, it was made that way.

@proger16: Thanks... This was a hard one!

proger16 : Thanks for your tests.
Windows 7: I found, it's the new lib we used to zip/unzip.
Createfile2 should have never been used for Desktop apps, even not when using Windows 11, forced CreataFileW.

Single .EXE now works from Windows 7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) to Windows 11.

Changes ...

All FileTransfer... and duplicate list fixed.
Native language, possible fixed, could not repeat it... make sure that UltraVNC Server and UltraVNC Viewer are latest version.

Folder FT is fixed: 1.8.0.5 was not transferring folders.

kannweg0815 : RDP: I think it always worked like that. It requires a review but that's not for now. As far is a remember, the Server sometimes need to restart the winvnc in another desktop. To avoid to pass the RDP selection each time some trigger was added, only doesn't work 100%.

@wojtek, @basso: Thanks for the feedback.
Missed those Unicode convertions, and DSM Plugin in listen mode uses other code, that also needed an update.

UltraVNC 1.8.0.3:
- Keyboard changes: Sync Server and Viewer keyboard handling, this should fix:

kannweg0815 , ddbivens : Thanks for testing...

Sorry for the errors, it seems that the Unicode conversion of the Viewer had some side effect
Viewer is now full Unicode, I need to verify if all command lines, special passwords are proper passed.

And plugins also fail to load... damm.

If you find ...

The problem was that the Unicode implementaion for Chat and FileTransfer also changed some ultravnc.ini code parts.
During testing I didn't see it as I didn't expected that Chat and FileTransfer changes would touch the service.

kannweg0815 : Thanks the feedback the problem is solved.

And also ...

kannweg0815 : Thanks for the feedback.
Damm "%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC Team\UltraVNC Suite" this should not be the path.

We have been playing to get UltraVNC passes the Microsoft Store certification but folders should have stay the same.
To complex to upgrade.

In 1.7.1.6 it still worked.

Explain, what isn't working:
- RDP Server
- RDP session on a normal PC

@proger16: The goal is that the new FT use protocol 3 when protocol 4 is not supported.
