Could not find what I was looking for in a search of this forum, so I will ask my questions.
I have a customer who needs an app to be used to remote into various devices. I did a Google search and I searched this forum and I could not find any results.
Here are my customer's requirements:
Remote app needs to be able to control mobile devices.
Remote app needs to be able to connect to computers over the Internet that are NOT connected to the company's internal network.

His last requirement was met, he needs a remote app that can control Macs and Windows PCs.

Thank you
Slovak

I can't seem to get "UltraVNC_1435_X64.msi" to install the service. Does anyone else have an issue?

MSI Log:
https://pastebin.com/DCCERDNE

Edit:
Looks like the custom actions for the MSI look for the property SERVER=1. I changed this to (SERVERVIEWER=1 Or SERVERVIEWER=3) and it attempts to install the service but I may be missing other things that need updating.

[Rudi De Vos]

new msi is documented on the
Announcement and Download links page
- viewtopic.php?t=37866

.MSI commandlines:

SERVERVIEWER:

Code: Select all

SERVERVIEWER
1 server
2 viewer
3 server + viewer

SERVICE:

Code: Select all

SERVICE
1 install
2 not install

SAMPLE:

Code: Select all

UltraVNC_1435_X64.msi SERVERVIEWER=2 -> Install only Viewer

[Craig87]

Yes, I seen the MSI properties on that page, and used them.

I used:
SERVERVIEWER=3 SERVICE=1

I'm telling you that the service doesn't get installed as the Custom Action that installs the service is looking for SERVER=1.

I can confirm that the UltraVNC_1435_X64.msi installer doesn't register uvnc_service as service.
The "UltraVNC_1435_X64_Setup.exe" is working fine but not the .msi package.

[Rudi De Vos]

will check

correct, forgot to replace the old value, done , updated git

[Craig87]

Ok thanks.

For anyone wanting to use the 1.4.3.5 MSI, this should work:

Code: Select all

UltraVNC_1435_X64.msi SERVERVIEWER=3 SERVICE=1 SERVER=1

[VersusBG]

Yes but if you uninstall it after the MSI installation the service is not deleted and you need to run:

Code: Select all

sc delete uvnc_service

[Rudi De Vos]

Issue found and corrected.
Msi was changed for the commandline but forgot to update the install/uninstall.
Also msi had the option to not remove the old version checked, also changed to remove.

Help! With this version using SC I get your connection has been rejected (both with repeater and directly).
This has never happened before, what can be done?

[Rudi De Vos]

Hello Rudy

Some feedback
(I'm still using 1382 viewer in my daily work... and its working great)

I used this SC 1436 to create a single click UVNC just to test and give feedback
Using your earlier post https://uvnc.eu/download/1430/UltraVNC_SC_1436.zip
Then used this website to create my sc exe
https://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload12.pl
((( Is this the latest site to use to create SC or is there something else I should test with??? )))
-secureplugin -connect myipaddress:5500 -noregistry
and I added my Server_SecureVNC.pkey
and after uploading my zip received my SC helpdesk.exe file at 1389KB in size

Tested and the single click exe works and is encrypted. (also file transfer and the features I tested worked.)

Observations...
Upon running ... I noticed that the UAC (user account control) was decreased to "Never notify" for the user who ran the SC exe.
When exiting the SC session the UAC remained at "Never notify" instead of going back up to where it was prior to the session.
This may be a known issue. I did not search the forum on this subject and just wanted to include it as feedback for this version.

Another small minor observation... your file says uvnc_sc_1436 but if you go into its properties is shows at 1.4.3.5 10/16/2023

Thanks for your continued work on a great product.

Which plugin? Could you release this as another version or at least update the online generator so it'll be with a signature, etc.?
Thanks!

1.4.3.6 is for the weekend, then all files get proper updated, new msi etc...

[Craig87]

Ok thanks. Please include new IPv6 exe's.

Hi ,
First of all I want to say a big thank you for your work and dedication wich result in a such great utility.
I hope to help you providing my experience:

UVNC 1.4.3.5 after upgrade from 1.4.3.1 : first 1-2 seconds -Password requested- then -server closed connection- messages

The same OS and the same settings worked on UVNC1.4.3.1 but not, after upgrade UVNC to 1.4.3.5 version.

Then I tested a fresh installation of UVNC1.4.3.5 in a clean VM with W10 x64 Enterprise, up to date system but not worked while encryption was enabled. I tested Loopback connection and form an other PC in same LAN, with/without SecureVNCPlugin64 option. With Encryption SecureVNCPlugin64 option disabled, worked. I tried to use the previous Encryption plugin with 1.4.3.5 version of UVNC, and worked.

Ok thanks.

For anyone wanting to use the 1.4.3.5 MSI, this should work:

Code: Select all

UltraVNC_1435_X64.msi SERVERVIEWER=3 SERVICE=1 SERVER=1

Hello!
using the command above, the installer launches and expects to go though it manually.
The options seems to be selected from the parameters defined in the command above.

Is there a way to use the msi with the parameters as above but finish the installation silently?

I want to use the msi in a GPO, without a script, using only the parameters
Normal msi installation.


P.S. Are there options i can define using orca, i order to create a mst tranform file?
i only need to configure the path, installation of only the server, and to do not create shortcuts.

Best regards.
