I thought that I had read that you can not install UVNC using Remote Desktop becuase of it having issues with passwords.
Well, I have no other way of trying it... is there a work around.
I have installed server to a WIN2003 box I have verified that "Requires MS Login" is not checked, but still getting errors.
Ideas? Is there a work around for using RDP to install?
Thanks!

installing via remote desktop
even paid software like RealVNC personal or enterprise is not installable trough Remote Desktop ! The only "good" reason is security.
The single way (as my knowledge) is over LAN to LAN or trough VPN,
you can install VNC only to OS windows NT family (including nt4/2000/XP/2003) and you need to enable remote registry function to enable
available tools, see VNC-related products.

Well I think (Ultra)VNC is perfectly installable through Remote Desktop - with a little preparation first.
The main problem is the "no default password dialog".
The only thing you have to do in advance, is to configure an accessible VNC server with a known default password - do not use MS Login initially, as most users do not map from one server to the other - use a simple password, once you have connected the first time using VNC, you can change to MS Login. This default configuration you export to a .reg file from HKLM . This .reg file you copy to the remote desktop server and import there. Then you can install the Mirror Driver and the UltraVNC server (in service mode) and start the UltraVNC server. As the default password is already set, there will be no popup; the VNC server is ready for connection.
The only thing you must NEVER do is to connect Remote Desktop to the console; so NEVER use mstsc.exe /console /V:server ! Once you have connected Remote Desktop to console, session 0 will be disconnected, thus VNC server service will give black screen to the viewer until ALL sessions have been reset or the server rebooted.
Check evt. QWINSTA on the server. If console and session 0 is on the same line, you're good. If session 0 is disconnected and console is connected to, say, session 3, reboot or use reset session on all sessions before attempting to connect to VNC.
Hope it works for you, too.
