from version 1.4.0.5 up to the latest 1.4.0.8 it is very slow when using the vncview repeater when "negotiate protocol version". If 1.3.8.1 is used it is always fast in all operations.
same issue,though the 1.3.8.1 part not confirmed yet

Could it be that simple.
The logging is now logging the viewer name instead of the ip, but dns can take 20s to lookup.
building a version that log the old way

Yeah looks like I have the same issue. If there is no reverse zone for the ip range the viewer is on, it take 20+ seconds to connect (tested on 1.4.0.6). This does not occur on 1.3.8.1. Adding a reverse zone and having an entry for the viewer pc resolves the issue.

I do not log on the server, but I do have an incoming connection query window which display's the dns name of the viewer pc on the server.

I did some tests and with version 1.4.0.9 now the connection is fast, I no longer encountered latency problems with repetear. problem solved for me. Thank you

[ddbivens]

I installed 1.4.0.9 (todays release) on about a dozen PCs today. Then I realized the vncviewer.exe was still reporting 1.4.0.8. I checked the file dates. It appears the zip and .exe both have the old version of the viewer in the 64bit release. It appears the 32bit release of the viewer is current.
I appreciate all the work you do on this program. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the info, wil fix it this evening ( gmt)

Hi, is your advice to always start with a fresh ini file of the current version, then change settings and deploy that ini file. Or as we do now for years use the same ini files for all versions? We don't use any new functionality.

[Rudi De Vos]

Use the old ini
New settings use the default until you change them, then the are added to the ini

[lwc]

What is the new logging.dll? Why is it it needed? The file description mentions MS-Logon.

I've updated two pc from 1.3.8.1 to 1.4.0.9 and we can not validate with ms-logon v1. The error registered on events viewer. samcli.dll 0xc0000005

Lucent Can you provide more info when it happen ?

Cpu
OS: Windows 7?

[MSOiD]

Did some testing with 1.4.0.9 and just like in 1.4.0.6, when you set:

QueryAccept=2
QueryIfNoLogon=0

it auto accept the connection, but it should auto reject when user is logged in and accept when user is logged out.
In 1.3.8.1 it works fine, tested on 2 Windows 10 22h2 notebooks.

I tried updating to this version and when deployed out using the config we have always used since 2016, it seems like i'm unable to get any newer version to work properly via batch file. I have 1.3.60 that works well with the config and any version before that always worked fine. I tried updating to 1.3.81 when i updated the image last time around and it had an issue where once installed, no one was able to VNC into those machines any longer so I rolled back to 1.3.60. I'm having the exact same issue when I try going to 1.4.0.9. It pops up an error for the person trying to UVNC in and says unable to start VNC service on "insertmachinenamehere"

Can someone tell me if these switches have been deprecated in the new versions or something, i've looked around a lot but not finding much information about it.

%~dp0UltraVNC_1_3_60_X64_Setup.exe /silent /loadinf=%~dp0config.ini
net stop uvnc_service
sc config uvnc_service start=demand
rd "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\UltraVNC" /S /Q
copy %~dp0ultravnc.ini "C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVNC\" /Y
exit

Checking all issue's.
Started with MSlogon I: could repeat it, working on this problem

I have tracked it down to something with the service on mine. It doesn't appear like it installs the service, almost like the service name changed possibly or something so the config isn't doing it properly?

[Rudi De Vos]

i'm on it, someone already tracked it on git, some error in the code.
Ignore was something else

[Rudi De Vos]

You start the inno setup wiith a config file
config.ini
What's in this file ?

You should run once to create or verify if all options still exist.
UltraVNC_1_4_09_X86_Setup.exe /SAVEINF="Unattended.txt"
This actual record what you do and create a file that can be used as
UltraVNC_1_4_09_X86_Setup.exe/silent /loadinf="Unattended.txt"

Code: Select all

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=ultravnc_server
Tasks=

Tasks=startservice if you want to start the service after install

I also propose to stop the service before installing, if the service is in use the installer can't remoce the old version
Stop service

Code: Select all

net stop uvnc_service 

install /updateuvnc

Code: Select all

UltraVNC_1_4_09_X86_Setup.exe/silent /loadinf="Unattended.txt"  

Set service to not auto start on boot

Code: Select all

sc config uvnc_service start=demand

MSOiD, now checking your issue

QueryAccept=2
QueryIfNoLogon=0

it auto accept the connection, but it should auto reject when user is logged in and accept when user is logged out.
In 1.3.8.1 it works fine, tested on 2 Windows 10 22h2 notebooks.

[VNCHELP890]

You really need to change the version numbers when you make these incremental changes (like the one showing the wrong version as an example).
Thanks.
