@proger16: language pack updated with Russian:
- https://uvnc.eu/download/1800/languages_64.zip

"language (ru)" is the visible part in the language selection.

Thanks

[Ludovic]

@proger16: "Pусский" instead of "language (ru)" will be good?

Yes, it's OK

I will test it

[proger16]

ok, I tested viewer
1) Some resources are missing from .rc, in particular I couldn't find these:


2) The text labels are critically short, even though there's plenty of room between them and other elements in most cases. Perhaps there's a way to make them as long as possible? This would make translation easier for more than just me. You could also use a single-column list of options in the settings where possible:





3) If you call the FOLDER deletion dialog, it will say "Confirm deletion of FILE"; the resource with the text "Confirm deletion of FOLDER" is not used.

4) I also discovered the following behavior:
If you invoke the file/folder deletion dialog, then when you close the dialog with a red cross, the delete action is performed, as if the user answered "Yes," rather than canceling, which would be more logical.

[proger16]

Same with winvnc:
- some lines are apparently missing from the .rc file
- text labels often don't fit, and it's not always possible to translate them beautifully and shorten them sufficiently

@RudiDeVos: More about FT:
- If you select multiple LOCAL folders at once and click "Delete", you'll see "Only one folder can be renamed."
- If you select multiple REMOTE folders at once and click "Receive", only one is copied.
- If you copy a REMOTE folder that already exists LOCALLY, no prompts are displayed; the folder simply appears as UVNCTMP0B11F539 after copying. The same applies when copying in the opposite direction.

Just started a deploy of the latest but now it seems the server wants locally encrypted passwords. We push a config copy of the ini with a set password but install ignores it.

[RudiDeVos]

perhaps this is the issue


Release summary — May 2026
⚠ Configuration path changed: ultravnc.ini is now stored in the standard Windows locations: %AppData%\UltraVNC\ for regular users and %ProgramData%\UltraVNC\ when running as a service or with admin rights.
If you create an empty file named ultravnc.portable in the same folder as winvnc.exe, then the server read the ini from the same folder ( old behavior)

@VersusBG
Manual merged all except msi.
Current i use a msiwrapper around the inno setup, so i don't need to maintain msi and inno setup.
The msi wrapper also takeover all inno setup settings that are mssing in the msi via a deployment project.
