Initial testing... The first build did not seem to copy (or create) the .ini file in the ProgramData\UltraVNC folder. I updated my batch program that runs the install to take care of this by creating the folder and coping the .ini file before it runs the UltraVNC setup program.

The current build does copy the .ini file, but if the .ini file already exist in the ProgramData folder, the installer does a hard stop with the window saying the file already exists, OK button. It seems the silent install still works, so it must bypass the window with the OK button.

I just disabled my batch code that created the folder and copied the ini file and did an install over an older version with the new build. The installer correctly created the folder in ProgramData and copied the .ini file.
I don't currently have any PCs without UltraVNC installed for testing.

I noticed the new version does not honor the .ini settings:

QuerySetting=4
QueryTimeout=6
QueryAccept=1
QueryIfNoLogon=0

to prompt to allow the connection. I have not actually tested any settings, I just noticed this one because I use it on my PC to give me a few seconds to reject an incoming connection.

Hope this feedback helps a little.
Thank you for all your hard work!!!

Thanks for the feedback, the installer popups are temporal to now what the installer does in the background.
Will be removed in final release.

I will check the
QuerySetting QueryTimeout QueryAccept QueryIfNoLogon
parameters

Found, the default action was not set, updated so in case no rule is set Query is added
Files updated

Can de path to ultravnc.ini be adjusted? E.g. by command-line parameter?

Reason I am asking for is that I am running multiple VNC configurations in multiple folders. Up to now it was easy to separate the configuration as it was reading ultravnc.ini from the program folder.

I downloaded the 12/21/2024 release and installed it at home and on my work PC.
I was not prompted to allow the UltraVNC connection.

I ran uvnc_settings.exe to find the settings shown in your reply above and attempted to make two changes. I changed the Max CPU to 50 and I added a Query Message. The changes would not save. I thought this might be because I keep my .ini marked as Read Only to preserve my settings. But then I found out that uvnc_settings.exe is trying to save to the .ini file located in the Program Files\UltraVNC folder and not in the ProgramData\UltraVNC folder.
I removed the read only attribute from Program Files\UltraVNC\UltraVNC.ini file and the changes were saved to the Program Files\UltraVNC\UltraVNC.ini file. I copied that .ini file to the ProgramData\UltraVNC folder, stopped and started the service and I still was not prompted to allow the connection.
