The vnc file does not work

Post by balubeto »

Hi

I installed UltraVNC 1.1.8.0 32-bit on Windows 7 SP1 32-bit.

With its viewer, I connect with another computer and I save locally, its vnc configuration file with the password.

When, however, I run the remote control from this file, this window appears:

How come?

Thanks

Bye

This is an installer issue.
Looks like the .vnc association is wrong

The installer is correct, but it seems it's overwritten by some manual setting on your system.
I had the same after trying to manual associate the .vnc extension

If you manual told to open the .vnc file with vncviewer.exe it try to open "vncviewer.exe myconfig.vnc"
this is not correct, it need to be "vncviewer.exe -config myconfig.vnc"

Remove the manual entry via regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.vnc
Remove the .vnc entry in registry

If you now reinstall the vncviewer and select associate during install, the installer proper add the correct registry settings.
You also notice that myconfig.vnc files now get another icon
