Dameware-like features

Has anyone ever used Dameware? It is a remote desktop client for 2000/XP. One thing I like about it is that if you connect to a machine and it doesn't have the server running on it, Dameware will push the server out and start the service. It will also upgrade in this fashion if it detects an old version. Any chance of UltraVNC acquiring this feature without us having to use grokky scripts?

The push method use the Admin share, making it only work
on nt4/w2K and XP-pro.

I did some test a time ago, but found the OS's to limited.
If there is use for it, i will take up the project again.

I vote for it too... and...

I've done this with a little script. Using Sysinernals' psexec to execute and Iexpress Wizard (iexpress.exe, shipped within windows) to create a self-installing package.

In the script you use psexec.exe with some commandline options to start the self-installer, and the self-installer will then unpack itself into a temp-dir, and start the winvnc-server.

use: psexec -c \\<computername> selfinstaller.exe
