Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Thanks again for all your guy's hard work with this. But I was wondering if someone could explain how to use Caramel's zip's from his first post. He mentions that there's a readme file included, but I can't see one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers
*edit* - Nevermind... got it figured out!

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
I tried the "ultravnc_sc_noaero_7zipSfxVersion" single-click with Vista and it works great, super work guys!
One thing I noticed, not a big deal, is that the generated uvnc_sc.exe file does not display a custom icon when placed on the desktop. (It does use the custom icon1.ico and icon2.ico for the system tray when connected, just not displayed for the .exe file itself.)
Is there a way to have the .exe show a custom icon with this setup? Thanks again!

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
On some computers, right after I see the severs screen for about a second I get disconnected. On other computers (with Vista) it works.
Anyone know why?

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
I figured out the icon issue in the "7zipsfx" version.
It turns out that the icon displayed by the generated SC program is embedded in the file Bin/7zsd.sfx. This is the executable that extracts the SC components, so I temporarily renamed it "7zsd.sfx.exe" and used the Resource Hacker program (Bin/ResHack/ResHacker.exe) to change the icon.
Then it was simply a matter of renaming the file back to 7zsd.sfx and running the compile.cmd script. The resulting uvnc_sc.exe program displays the customized icon.

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
works brilliantly over lan not tried wan lan yet....
Is there a way to implement some kind of log and timer within this.
For example:
Remote Session
Date: 09/07/2008
start session time. 10:00
End Session time. 11:00
Client: berty lasptop
Email: berty@whatever.com
Fault: word not opening
Solution: [solved]
Ive seen Dawft SCCHAT, and have tried it but it does not work?
need something simple, that works with SC_VNC_Autoit
Is it possible to get SCCHAT to work with SC_VNC_Autoit ? or any other way to record information from a session ?

compile requires helpdesk.txt
I used the "compile.cmd" to create my .exe file but it will NOT run unless the "helpdesk.txt" file is in the same folder.
Is this normal?

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Hi edjack,
No that is not normal. The helpdesk should being in the "SC_VNC_Files" which is a sub directory from where the compile.cmd is.
Have to made any changes to the Compile.cmd or the SC_VNC.au3?
If so, post the contents of either and i will take a look for you.

What fixed it for me was to download and update to UltraVNC_1.0.4_Setup.exe on the computer doing the listening.
Problem is now fixed and SC is working great on Vista!
Thanks to all who contribute to this great support tool.

Installed latest UltraVNC_1.0.4_Setup.exe
Ran shortcut from my desktop
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen
My connection all ok, but it was extremely slow a good 15 sec delay ?
Am i doing anything wrong?
Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
How to you mean you used autoit to create the sc.exe for clients?
Do you mean you downloaded the SC_VNC_Autoit and used that to create the SC.exe?

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
And can you confirm that the desktop composition had been turned off? (as in no Aero transparency)
We do sometimes find that the aero doesn't turn off correctly meaning you get the connection but it is slow in responding, just as you say.

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Hi guys,
Look I gotta say, I love SC. Its bloody bloody handy.
BUT I do have one bug bear, I still are having problems with XP Viewer -> Vista (Server)
On the viewer side (Win XP), as soon as i get the first screen draw, the viewer client closes without any warning.
I have tried it with various vista computers, some computers it always seems to work, some computers it doesnt (not sure if this is something to do with the specific computer, or its entirely random)
Anyway I thought it might be something to do with my computer so I did a test in safe mode, and the same thing happened (viewer closes on first screen redraw).
So its nothing I am running.
I am on the ultravnc_sc_noaero_AutoItVersion.zip version and on the viewer side are running VC1.04RC17.
I am more than happy to help with some debugging, but I am not a programmer, so if someone can help out with a debug version I will run it.
Please help,
Cheers
-Al

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
hi all
sorry if these questions have been asked b4
i downloaded the 7zipnoareo version
so am i right in saying that i just alter the helpdesk.txt to suit my needs then click build?
also i get the following error when testing:
Connection failed - Invalid protocol
Possible causes:
You've forgotten to select a DSMPlugin and the Server uses a DSMPlugin
- Viewer and Server are not compatible
any ideas?

Have you got a firewall running on the PC you are having problems with?
It seems something is blocking the VNC port as I have seen this with other VNC based programs to,
Some firewalls like Naughty Nortons or Mccaffrey's do not always prompt the end user when they are "blocking" a potentially malicious program accessing the internet.
What makes things worse is that this behaviour varies from OS to OS and even incremental version of the Firewall Software.
E.g. some versions of Norton's 360 on Windows Vista are just not friendly with VNC, yet other versions of Norton 360 on Windows Vista just let VNC through...even without prompting the end user.
Sloppy Software Firewalls full of bloatware...IMHO are more of a hindrance than a form of protection from "hackers".
You can't beat a well coded software firewall (ESET or Kaspersky Lab) or Hardware Firewall Solution (SIP on a router/gateway or a a fancy £60K [SPAM] box based system), until end users realise this Naughty Nortons and the McCaffery's collective will cause practically every IT support Department to rant, and swear collectively at least 47 times a week.
Kind Regards
John

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
hey all,
thanks to everyone that has been invloved in this thread.
I took the autoit version and implemented it into VNC2Me - remote support over the internet via middle ssh server
I have confirmed that it works on vista, but would like feeback on the whole application (does it work or not, does the vista support work for you ... etc) feeback can be provided on the vnc2me site or in the post in [topic=12784]related products[/topic] post

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Hello,
thank you very much for this thread. Both solutions from the first post work, but i have problems setting up an encryptet connection using SC_VNC_AutoIt.rar. Simply placing a rc4.key in the SC_VNC_Files directory doesn't work. There is no readme included, so i don't know what to do (edit SC_VNC.au3???). Would be nice to get some help here.
And BTW, which solution is "better"? Or doesn't it make any difference?

Hi There!
I have downloaded the version posted a few pages back (Perhaps the latest url could be made sticky or something) and 1.05 on the server side. On SOME pc's it turns off Aero and others it doesn't and I am not sure why. Both the two I tried were notebooks.

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Are there any known compatibility issues with Windows Home Premium?
I'm trying to deploy the 7zip method for use by my company of 70+ developers and support staff. It worked like a charm for my sample pool of staff over a week and a half, so I deployed it to the whole group.
Unfortunately, two of my guys immediately ran into a problem with vista_sc.exe not responding when starting the host app. The only conditions under which I can duplicate this are when the host is running Vista Business/Ultimate and the user isn't an admin on the box or Vista Home Premium regardless of administrative privileges.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Have any of you guys had success in getting it to work on Vista Home Premium (or below)?
Please advise. As it stands now, we're dead in the water when it comes to using remote support for customers running Vista.
Thanks for any advice!

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Thanks to all who have worked on this. Its fantastic.
We just have one issue.
Last month we receated an SC version using SC_VNC_7z. We are also having a problem with aero not turning off every time. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. (I wonder if it has to do with the Vista Service Pack. I'll try to find out more on that.)
Anyway, in the meantime, would it be worthwhile for us to upload aero.exe to those users. Would simply double clicking it turn aero off?
Thanks.

Re: SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!
Hi johnhct
It would turn off aero, but the only way to turn it back on is to kill the aero.exe on the process list.
It sounds more like the aero.exe is being blocked its self. We have had this issue before. It seems that even tho the autoit script requires admin, it doesnt always work. I would suggest you get the remote user to try right clicking on the sc and run it as an administrator and see what you get.
Cheers,
