Problem with UltraVNC install on a windows 9x box

Post by philodox »

I have been testing out installing ultravnc on a 9x computer since I have the NT based fastpush install working properly...

I am placing the files on a server that the users have access to and since every user in a 9x computer is an administrator this should work fine. I will give them all read and execute access on the install files on the server. On my test machine I have tried the install out with the following batch file, but for some reason I get a 'VNC authentication failed!' message when I try to connect to the 9x box after the install.

@echo off
md c:\progra~1\orl
md c:\progra~1\orl\vnc
copy /y l:\vnc\winvnc.exe c:\progra~1\orl\vnc
copy /y l:\vnc\mydeta~1.bat c:\windows\system
copy /y l:\vnc\mydeta~1.pif c:\windows\startm~1
copy /y l:\vnc\*.dll c:\progra~1\orl\vnc
copy /y l:\vnc\omni\*.dll c:\windows\system
regedit /s l:\vnc\vncsettings.reg
c:\progra~1\orl\vnc\winvnc -install
EXIT

The .reg file that I am using to import the settings is pieced together from my fastpush install on my winxp computer with the header changed so that 9x recognises it:

I left out the VNChooks portion of it as it is extremely long... and I remembered to remove the default password this time :twisted:

Any ideas what the problem could be? I have compaired the registries of my xp and 9x computers side by side for the affected groups and they seem identical after the install...

I tried using a modified version of the self extracting local install that someone posted on here and had the same problem... if I use his version it works fine, but as soon as I update it with my registry values I get the above error message after trying to authenticate... I have the sneaking suspicion and it is the group based authentication that is doing it... I will try another test run in a bit with just that removed and see if it works...

This feature should work fine with 9x computers correct? Have I just found a bug?

Are you getting the authentication failed error after a reboot?
