noicons swtich not working with install.inf

Post by Chmsfcd »

hello, I allow myself to write to you because I encounter a small problem during an installation of uvnc.

but first of all I wanted to congratulate you for the work you are doing!

here is my case, I use an answer file for the installation of vnc 1.3.2, namely this one:

Code: Select all

[Setup]
Lang=fr
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=1
SetupType=custom
Components=ultravnc_server,ultravnc_viewer
Tasks=installservice,startservice,associate,acl

and during the installation I ask that no icon is visible, either on the desktop or in the start menu, with the switch noicons = 1.

is this coming from me or is it a concern of the setup?

I thank you in advance.

PS i'm french, please excuse my poor english :-)

Usual i run UltraVNC_1_3_2_X64_Setup.exe /SAVEINF="filename.txt" and set during setup all options i want.
Later you can /LOADINF="filename.txt" to use the same parameters

Doesn't seems to work for the viewer icons

re-upload the setup exe where all icons are part of the desktopicon Task, you can enable/disable them using
the desktopicon Task switch

thank you for your reply.

in fact i just noticed that the noicons works for desktop icons. on the other hand I wanted to remove the icons also from the start menu (and consequently the UVNC folder created). this so that the users of my park cannot modify the settings of the server by going to the settings of the server.
