Unspecified error!! Mslogon vs uVNC permissions

Post by X3 »

And here it is

Image

When I try to set up MSlogonII I do:

1)Decide which account I wnat to run the program I choose admin

2)On the Ultravnc security editor I have to add a user or group and I browse and choose the admin

3)As soon as I add one it puts out that message when I try to apply on the uVNC security editor window.

odd but hey I got no ideas and that is in XP pro sp2.

This happen when you keep the [] checked in the window

------------------
"execute as"
With useraccount do you want to execute the program with
--------------------
(*)Current user
[x] <<<<----- you need to uncheck this, else no permission
() This user
---------------------

When you change the mslogonII settings this is executed

winvnc.exe -securityeditorhelper

Perhaps usefull for testing, you can change settings while the winvnc.exe isn't runnning

I have the same problem as X3 and I've had this same problem every time I've setup a new instance of UltraVNC for years!

I can't believe more people don't run into this problem and that it's been out there for so long.
Even now, over a year and a half after the post here about this, and using the latest version of UltraVNC (1.0.5.6 - Apr 2009) I still have the problem.

So far I've always been able to make-it-go, but I've never really understood what I did to fix it.
I think perhaps unchecking the "protect my computer" checkbox on that dialog that pops up about 3 times may have something to do with it.
Also I usually end up trying to specifiy the Administrator account explictly instead of accepting the default (administrative) account that I'm logged in as.
