@proger16: language pack updated with Russian:
- https://uvnc.eu/download/1800/languages_64.zip

"language (ru)" is the visible part in the language selection.

Thanks

[Ludovic]

@proger16: "Pусский" instead of "language (ru)" will be good?

Yes, it's OK

I will test it

[proger16]

ok, I tested viewer
1) Some resources are missing from .rc, in particular I couldn't find these:


2) The text labels are critically short, even though there's plenty of room between them and other elements in most cases. Perhaps there's a way to make them as long as possible? This would make translation easier for more than just me. You could also use a single-column list of options in the settings where possible:





3) If you call the FOLDER deletion dialog, it will say "Confirm deletion of FILE"; the resource with the text "Confirm deletion of FOLDER" is not used.

4) I also discovered the following behavior:
If you invoke the file/folder deletion dialog, then when you close the dialog with a red cross, the delete action is performed, as if the user answered "Yes," rather than canceling, which would be more logical.

[proger16]

Same with winvnc:
- some lines are apparently missing from the .rc file
- text labels often don't fit, and it's not always possible to translate them beautifully and shorten them sufficiently

@RudiDeVos: More about FT:
- If you select multiple LOCAL folders at once and click "Delete", you'll see "Only one folder can be renamed."
- If you select multiple REMOTE folders at once and click "Receive", only one is copied.
- If you copy a REMOTE folder that already exists LOCALLY, no prompts are displayed; the folder simply appears as UVNCTMP0B11F539 after copying. The same applies when copying in the opposite direction.

Just started a deploy of the latest but now it seems the server wants locally encrypted passwords. We push a config copy of the ini with a set password but install ignores it.

[RudiDeVos]

Perhaps this is the issue: Release summary - May 2026
⚠ Configuration path changed: ultravnc.ini is now stored in the GOOD standard Windows locations: %AppData%\UltraVNC\ for regular users and %ProgramData%\UltraVNC\ when Running as a Service or with admin rights.
If you create an empty file named ultravnc.portable in the same folder as winvnc.exe, then the Server reads the .ini from the same folder (old behavior)

@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.

Uninstalling an EXEMSI installation remotely with no GUI is not possible as the .msi uninstall command will just start the unins000.exe user interface.
so any commands for remote uninstall will fail

like those examples:
----

Code: Select all

MsiExec.exe /X BD73903D-C694-4358-8F07-E71ABC89368F
msiexec.exe /x UltraVNC_1640_x64_Setup.msi

Code: Select all

$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -match "UltraVNC" }
$app.Uninstall()

Code: Select all

Get-Package -Name *UltraVNC* | Uninstall-Package

-------

The only way to uninstall the program which is installed via EXEMSI is to call unins000.exe first (Invoke-Command) and then run msiexec to clear the leftovers of the wrapped installed (msi and programs)

Code: Select all

PS C:\> Get-Package -Name *UltraVNC*
