Re: Is it possible to run a silent install of only the viewe

No Panic, - it was the INF file for the EXE I was looking for, and although I couldn't find anywhere that listed the content of this file, I did find another site that suggested using the '/saveinf="Filename"' option.

This did the trick really well.

Is it possible to run a silent install of only the viewer?

Hi all,

I trying to build a PC image for our techs. We usually use the UltraVNC view on the tech machine but they don't require the server.

Is it possible to run a silent/untended install but without installing ALL components (don't mind using MSI or EXE)?

Cheers

Chris

VNC Viewer not connecting to servers with a VNC password set

Hi, I am having difficulty with UVNC viewer (1.0.9.5 - although 1.0.9.1 caused the same issue) in that the viewer will not connect to a server that requests a password to be entered. However, I can connect to the same server and see the password prompt when using an older UVNC version (specifically ...

Re: SecureVNCPlugin.dsm - viewer reporting error

If you generate a key on the server, you also need to copy this key to the viewer. Server and viewer need to have the same key or no key... Interesting. I always though that the the keys for PKI encryption where independent for both ends. Client connects to Server. Client and server exchange public ...

Host IDs on repeater to be able to use non numeric character

Hi,

I would be nice that when a UltraVNC server connects to a repeater if host ID could use non numeric characters. It's just simpler to have a host ID, maybe identified by location or computer name, rather than just a numeric string.
