Hi,
Is there a way to package winvnc (the server) as an ActiveX
so as to have a "no-install" way to start a VNC support call?
I mean, put the follwing on the support web site
<OBJECT ID="WinVNC" CLASSID="..." CODEBASE="UltraVNC.cab"/>
<PARAM connect>myserver:port</PARAM>
</OBJECT>
and have a user connect to the support guy's vncviewer...

winvnc (the server) as an ActiveX
Hi,
sorry but I didn't understand the previous reply.
I'm looking for some activeX or java control so my clients connect to my web page and they click for support and they get connected to my vnc viewer that is in listen mode....
That way I don't have to install the client winvnc server on my client's computer.
Rigth now we install ultravnc on a computer and they use the "add new client" option to connect us.
Thanks

why don't you create/compile your own UltraVNC SC (alias SingleClick server)?
that way you can also offer a link on your website. your clients just have to open the file instead of saving it (and redownload it if wanted).

pro:
- independency from the miserable internet explorer.
- a bit less user friendly because of it beeing a downloadable file and no applet. but if you think of activex security messages, maybe that's just not counting...
- customers need to create extra (desktop)firewall-rules to allow the .exe to connect to the outerworld - but that also depends on the activex part: is it the same way there? then forget this point - and SC just has pros...
