UltraVNC *Upgrade* MSI

Post by simon.croak »

Hi Guys,

Quick question, does anyone know how to make an UPGRADE MSI for the latest version of UltraVNC.

My Problem is this. I'm the domain admin for a company of about 200 PC's. Each PC has had UVnc 1.0.8.2 installed manually when it was first bought.

I have been asked by my manager to get Uvnc 1.0.9.6 installed on all the PC's and I would really like to do this via group policy software installation so that it will make it easier in the future to upgrade and to also make sure that whenever a PC is added to the domain it gets all the software we need to support it.

I have tried using VNCed MSI creator but that uses the "Installer Full source" and doesn't install 'over the top' of the old version. I get issues where the server service keeps stopping and starting.

Installing the "Upgrade" exe manually installs perfectly but I can't use this in Group Policy as it's an EXE.

Any thoughts on how I can achieve this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Simon

P.S If there are any of the UVnc software developers reading this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release the installer as an MSI, I'm sure I am not the only one that wants to install via group policy.
