WinVNC service will not install!?

[cruiserandmax]

I'm trying to install winvnc as a service and the service isn't showing up.

I've tried Using any of the start menu service install options, and the -install, -installs, or -resinstall command line options and none seem to wokr. I get no error message, however the service simply does not show up in the list of installed services... I even tried re-installing winvnc and picking the option to install as a service at that time, and the service still isn't showing up. Using WinVNC 1.2 & XP pro.

Anyone have any ideas?

The service is called VNC Server not UltraVNC Server or winvnc.

services.msc

build service name command line
1.0.2 vnc server (net start winvnc)
1.0.4 uvnc_service (net start uvnc_service)

install remotely as admin/console of your remote windows

remote desktop connection usage
mstsc /?

server: windows 2003/2008 server OK
client: any windows
mstsc /v:hostname /console (terminal service client 5.0)
mstsc /v:hostname /admin (terminal service client 6.0)


server: windows 2000 server/professional or xp professional
this command fail (stay as user level)
mstsc /v:hostname /console <-- NOK client 5.0
mstsc /v:hostname /admin <-- OK client 6.0 <-- should be OK

The service is called VNC Server not UltraVNC Server or winvnc.

But you understood what I meant? After UltraVNC is installed it creates the menu items:

Start->Programs->UltraVnc->UltraVNC Server->Install WinVNC Service
Start->Programs->UltraVnc->UltraVNC Server->Install WinVNC Service silent
Start->Programs->UltraVnc->UltraVNC Server->Reinstall Install WinVNC Service (Silent)

I've tried running them all, but no service gets installed. I have to manually launch the UltraVNC Server. I'd rather it be installed as a service that automatically starts when the machine boots.

Any ideas on this problem?

services.msc

build service name command line
1.0.2 vnc server (net start winvnc)
1.0.4 uvnc_service (net start uvnc_service)

Sorry, but I'm a bit slow at this- what do you mean by build service name command line? There don't seem to be any options in the Services window that comes up after services.msc is run that would seem to allow me to add anything manually... Is that what you're suggesting?

Thanks, I do appreciate your help!

no,

the service name of ultravnc server change depend of the build of ultravnc 1.02 or 1.0.4 for start|stop service.
if ultravnc server is installed as service, you can see the name listed as below:

start... run... services.msc
vnc server (winvnc) = UltraVNC server <=1.0.2
uvnc_service (uvnc_service) => UltraVNC server 1.0.4
