Problems using saved connection info

[d4mich4]

Hello,

i have UltraVNC Viewer - 1.2.4.0 when i try to start a saved connection from the "save connection info as" option i get a info/fault window with the following message.



How can i change this i am not sure where i would find infos regarding to this in the documentation?

Thank you,

Michael

The config from the saved connection looks like this:

Looks like a file association issue.
This is normal done by the installer.

First, if you've already made the windows file type association associate for .vnc extension with the vncviewer.exe, open regedit and do a search for ".vnc" and delete all keys you find.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vnc

Then make a little batch file containing the following:

ftype UltraVnc.Connection=C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVnc\vncviewer.exe /config %%1
assoc .vnc=UltraVnc.Connection



Then right-click the batch file and choose "Run as Administrator".
Your .vnc files should then launch the vnc viewer correctly. Please note that you may need to change the path above to point to the location of your vncviewer.exe file if it's not installed in the same place as mine. Also note, the double percent sign in "%%1" at the end of the ftype line in the .bat file is NOT a typo. You need the double percent sign when you run a command like that inside a .bat file

If I perform the above procedure from a Administrators type account of Windows 11 Enterprise, will this change be applied to all users?

Thanks

This didn't work for me until I:

a) Quoted the file name

ftype UltraVnc.Connection=C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVnc\vncviewer.exe /config %%1
assoc .vnc=UltraVnc.Connection

b) Deleted existing file association, everything matching:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vnc
