Installing from command line

[LD]

Hey everyone!
I thought I would just create my own topic on this as I have a couple questions. We use a software deployment tool to install software no our endpoint workstations and I am currently working on rolling out RC-18.

I have run into a couple things and I was wondering if anyone has any tips.

When I run the following command from command line on endpoints workstations they are prompted with a message saying "Ultra VNC has been successfully installed and will start when computer is rebooted" etc...
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe" -install

Is there any way to make the above command silent? I would prefer there not to be any prompts.

Second, later on in my script (bat file) I have the following command:
net start "VNC Server"

This doesn't seem to work? Is this because the computer has to be rebooted first?

Basically, my script does the following:

1. copies program files to c:\Program Files\UltraVNC
2. runs command "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe" -install
3. imports registry key (HKey_Local_machine\software\ORL)
4. Starts VNC Service (or tries to atleast) net start "VNC Server".


I am noticing a couple errors after I reboot the computer. When I try to connect I get a prompt "This server does not have a valid password enabled ...". I exported the registry key from a working system with VNC installed..

Also, if I go into the GUI management of VNC on the endpoint workstation the "Require MS login" box is checked, but the groups I added aren't there. Is this stored in another section of the registry?

Any information that could be provided would be appreciated.

thanks!

I use a slightly modified version of VNC fastpush - search these forums for fastpush and you'll get the idea.

Thanks, I have been searching the forum. I found the option to use the /verysilent switch and everything looks OK with this.. but, at the end of the install it opens up the following url: http://ftp.erm.tu-cottbus.de/ultravnc/

This is not something we would want as it opens on our endpoint workstations and this may cause confusion for users.

Any suggestions?
