Automated Install not accepting password

griam01 · Post by **griam01** » 2005-06-30 14:59

I am trying to run a silent install with the /loadinf parameter, so my users do not see anything happening at all

My command line is this:

c:\vnc\ultravnc-1.0-setup_sf.exe /verysilent /loadinf="c:\vnc\vncsettings.inf"

My vncsettings.inf (created using /saveinf parameter)

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
Components=server,server\driver,viewer,dsm,repeater
Tasks=installservice,startservice,properties,cleanreg,associate
PropertiesFile=c:\vnc\clientvnc.reg

My clientnvnc.reg was an export of my registry with a password already generated.

I run the install and I don't get a popup until the very end, when it says that a default password is not set and prompts you to put in a password, once you click ok, it then has all the default settings, not he customized settings I specified in the .reg file initially (lock permissions, etc.).

I am sure I am just missing something and would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

Thanks in advanced for your assistance.

To create a right REG file you have to export this : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL

I know how to create a reg file, that is what I have already done. My problem is that the reg file has the password in it, but it is not accepting it during an install.

Sorry

For me it works.

I'll check your key with mine tomorow ...

doak · Post by **doak** » 2005-07-04 14:53

No it will not work. I'm having the same problem. At the end it prompts for the password. Why isn't it possible to make an silent/unattended install with the password included? How can you deploy this on your network??

doak · Post by **doak** » 2005-07-04 18:55

Got the answer griam01

It's so somethings stupids all you have to do is copy the key's from [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\WinVNC3] TO --> [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default] now it won't prompt for the password anymore !! This is my batch + reg file

Code: Select all

Batch:
@echo off 
rem made by DiannemaN for the lovers of UltraVnc

start /wait regedit /s vnc.reg

start /wait %systemdrive%\temp\UltraVNC-1.0-Setup.exe /loadinf="%systemdrive%\temp\saveinf.inf" /props="vnc.reg" /silent

echo Importing vnc settings...

I have the same problem and everything is correct with my reg file. I have noticed one thing though - my silent install works perfectly on a machine that never had a previous version of WinVNC. It only fails when they had a previous version.

bevtech · Post by **bevtech** » 2005-10-31 15:41

new guy,
I would look to make sure that the old regristry settings are cleaned up before you do a automated install sounds like you have a bad key or setting issue from the previous version.

MrSchnabel · Post by **MrSchnabel** » 2005-11-01 10:54

I've tried with a fresh installed laptop where a previous version was definitely NOT installed. So this can't be the reason.

@Redge:

Thx for your answer but all I'm trying to do is to create a silent UltraVNC installation with pre-defined settings and without any dialogue boxes or prompts. Do you have an idea to solve the described problem?

littlemuck · Post by **littlemuck** » 2005-11-29 11:39

Hi there,

I got the same problem.
I want to install UVNC with a STARTSCRIPT NOT a LOGONSCRIPT!

Installation is no problem, but the password setting...

As I see that the password is stored und HKCU\Software\ORL\WINVNC3

BUT

When a startscript is used, no user is logged in. So SYSTEM user is used to install the software and when e.g. Administrator logs in, the registry settings in HKCU are not there

Another interresting thing is, when I set the Registry entrys in HKLM\software\orl\winvnc3 and ...\winvnc3\default, I get the error message if a user logs on

BUT

when I then start the VNC Service, it's running without problems and with the password, I used in the registry settings...

I got a silent install to work which loads an acl file and all my settings including passwords without prompting you to configure the settings.

Here is my inf file: vncinstall.inf

Code: Select all

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=Accessories\System Tools\UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
Components=server,server\driver,dsm
Tasks=installservice,startservice,acl
AclFile=c:\vnc\acl.txt
PropertiesFile=c:\vnc\vncsettings.reg

Note: Under Tasks there is no 'properties' and 'cleanreg'. This is the key to getting it to work. Also you need to have absolute paths to your reg settings and ACL file. (Haven't tested with using variables, e.g. %SYSTEMROOT%)

Here is my batch install script:

Code: Select all

echo Installing UltraVNC 1.0.1
start /wait c:\vnc\UltraVNC-101-Setup.exe /verysilent /loadinf="c:\vnc\vncinstall.inf"

ACL File: (optional)
After adding your list of MS Logon users in UltraVNC. Use the MSLogonACL.exe tool in the program folder to create the ACL.txt file.
HOW: At command prompt navigate to your UltraVNC install path e.g.
C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\

Run the tool with the following commands:

MSLogonACL /e C:\vnc\ACL.txt

This will create the ACL file you need.
This is my file.

Code: Select all

allow	0x00000003	"..\Domain Admins"
allow	0x00000003	..\scl

The vncsettings.reg file is just a registry export from
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL]

I hope this helps anyone trying to do a unattended install.
