SC + Vista Compatibility - WORKING!!!!!!

[robinsonjas]

Kindof new to SC UVNC, have tested and works great w/ XP from both ends. However, I run viewer on XP Pro SP3 machine. If I have a client connect from a Vista machine w/ UAC I have problems. The sessions gets kicked whenever the UAC window pops up? What am I doing wrong.
This is the version I am running:
[topic=14063][/topic]
I have installed the drivers for 1.0.5 from UVNC website.
Any pointers?

It says the file is no longer there anymore. Do you have another link to get this latest working Vista single click version? Thanks!!

[Drumznut]

Yeah, strange, not sure why I can't get it from the other link...

Thanks Radeon!!!

Mediafire link works just fine here.

As for those that have no clue how to modify files. You just need to modify helpdesk.txt in the SC_VNC_Files folder. The bottom of this page is a mini tutorial of how to edit this file for your needs. http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html

Make sure to right click Compile.bat and select Run as Administrator if you are in Vista.

Thanks Radeon!

[paulus47]

yes this one works oke , no compatibilty problem in vista,

only 1 little problem in file transfer ..smaller files go's oke but bigger files not if you want to cancel the trasfer it keeps running to copy that .

BTW is there a possibiliti to show a brief alert box with : thanks for calling our helpdesk ?
it would be nice to let the client know that we are disconnecting and they can control the pc again.

its inportant to let clients know that we are closing the connection !

and this is all a great job to all of you !! thanks

I found a problem with the SC_VNC.au3 file. It's missing the following line:

Code: Select all

FileInstall( "SC_VNC_Files\rc4.key", @TempDir & "\SC_VNC_Temp_Files\rc4.key", 1 )

[HoggetNZ]

Still not working for me when the remote machine is Vista Home Premium. Same problem as noted earlier - remote screen connects and shows for millisecond then disconnects. Working excellently with Vista Business and Ultimate (aero & non-aero, UAC & non-UAC). Helpdesk machine running XP Pro. Using 1.0.5.3
Anyone else have this problem with Vista Home Premium?
Have not tested Home Basic.

Thanks for this Vista-enabled version of UltraVNC. However, even tough remote support functions perfectly, it is unusable due to the use of AutoIT. More and more virusscanners are, unjustly, identifying AutoIT applications as trojans/virusses. Of course, that's a no-go -- we can't have antivirus applications shouting out alerts at users.

Is there any way to prevent this?

i have found that if you use autoit to pack files inside the EXE, then virus scanners have a problem with it, but if you use 7zip to pack your exe and run the autoit app, then generally these don't have issues ...

Please could you explain how you used 7zip and autoit to create the .exe file? If you (or someone) could explain the process in a few simple steps that would be really helpful...

Hi all,

I've had a look at the nircmd scripts for radeons solution and from that I am trying to produce a solution that will run without admin priviledges.

First off I've found that the UVNC viewer can actually disable aero and wallpaper itself.

Second I have made a mini batch file that automatically reconnects UVNC SC after the user has answered the UAC prompts.

Thirdly I am trying to create 2 separate .reg files so that if a PC has UAC enabled and they are not an administrator, I can first connect to them through SC then manually run a .reg script to disable UAC prompting by right clicking this file and selecting "Run as Administrator" and then entering the Domain password for the client. I would then have to run another script for when I am finished (to enable UAC again). I guess these two scripts could be combined so that running a single script just changes off->on and on->off.

Of course all this is avoiding the UVNC addon drivers which I don't believe are entirely necessary as long as aero is disabled.

So far the autoreconnect batch file is

Code: Select all

StartSC
START /WAIT Support.exe
GOTO StartSC

All these files are then put into a self extracting executable and the autoreconnect batch file is executed.

The problem is coming up with the .reg scripts seen as I am not entirely confident myself in converting Radeon's winvnc.cmd (written in nircmd code) to .reg format. Anyone know how?

EDIT: I ran the winvnc.cmd without the nircmd.exe line and it executed but couldn't add the 2 registry entries since it said access denied for both despite the fact I specifically ran it as administrator.

EDIT 2: No need, just found this godly piece of software that runs standalone "TweakUAC". It allows you to run UAC in quiet mode without a restart just like the script. =))

added the file into the vnc2me files storage (register and you can upload whatever you want) http://vnc2me.org/downloads.html?func=fileinfo&id=5

Sorry for the delay in reply, but for some reason i don't get notified of posts in this thread

7zip is a little complex, and i'm working on an app that will pack all files in a directory into an EXE, but its still under development, in the mean time, another way of packaging is by using iexpress (is installed by default winXP)

Code: Select all

iexpress.exe /N ./VNC2Me.SED

where the "VNC2Me.SED" contains

Code: Select all

[Version]
Class=IEXPRESS
SEDVersion=3
[Options]
PackagePurpose=InstallApp
ShowInstallProgramWindow=0
HideExtractAnimation=1
UseLongFileName=1
InsideCompressed=0
CAB_FixedSize=0
CAB_ResvCodeSigning=0
RebootMode=N

FILE0="vnc2me.exe"

[SourceFiles]
SourceFiles0=compiled\
[SourceFiles0]
%FILE0%=
%FILE1%=
%FILE2%=
%FILE3%=
%FILE4%=
%FILE5%=
%FILE6%=

All files in this unmodified script are found in a sub-directory called compiled ... you will need to modify the SED heavily to suit your needs, but it is a place to start.

also, au3 files will need to be modified to remove all "installfile" lines.

Thank you for the files. I look forward to a read me.

Thanks Caramel and cyberdoc for a great job

Was close to give up on UltraVNC because of the slow Vista problem, but thanks to you, I can still use my preferred support tool.

Just one suggestion: Put the cyberdoc release as one of the first messages, so we don't have to read the hole tread.

[lupick]

a couple of issue are still present:

1. You need to work as admin in order to run the tool.
2. I've added in the SC_VNC.au3 my rc4.key file in order to use the encryption plugin with a linux repeater
All seems to be fine but the connection remain sticked in to "negotiate protocol version".
Everything is ok if I don't use the encryption. Using SC Builder 2009 by Nitro everything is ok but it's a closed source app.

Have you any idea how to solve it??

than you

Well after many many months I still cant get my favourite tool to work with Vista.

I am running Windows XP SP3. I have Kaspersky internet security (though I have switched this off and tried) and I still cant get it to work.

I suffer the same problem as a few other people - I get a flash of the server screen then the whole app exits.

In An effort to try and help someone find an answer I ran a packet capture on a attempted vista session and got this. I hope it makes sense to someone:

can you pm me a link to the wireshark log of this session, and i will run it on a session that works, and compare the two, and see where it breaks. (chances are its something to do with the UAC ... but thats guessing (i only have win 7 installed in vmware ... vista was on this laptop for a few days, then i pissed me off, so i pissed it off, but looks like i need a vista install working with aero huh ...

Hi JDaus,

Well, I tried the following:

1. Different network cards
2. Fresh Iinstall XP
3. Latest Version of VNC Viewer

I then decided it had to be the little server applet that gets complied so I used the latest version I could find which was SC_VNC_Vista_Autoit....

Time will tell if it works - only tested on 1 Vista machine so far....

For all those who get the:

Error: Error opening the destination file.

I found that is was my antivirus that was causing the problem. If I disabled the resident shield then ran the builder, I had no problems. I couldn't find an answer for this on the forum so I thought I add it here in case.

Looking forward to an non Aut2Exe release

[Puma81]

1st off, Thanks for the script! It works asside from 1 question.

How do I get it to keep the -id string found in the helpdesk.txt file. I want the customer to just double click "Connect with Support" in the box and have it use the ID I supplied in the document so I dont have to tell the end use what ID to enter for the session.

Example:

Code: Select all

[HOST]
Connect With Support
-id 1027 -connect my.support.com::5500 -noregistry

[JDaus]

1st off, Thanks for the script!

which one are you using ???

there is more than one in this topic ...

most applications in this topic are just wrappers that turn off UAC and maybe aero, then run the old sc ... after old sc exits, they return app to original state and exit ...

have you checked that your helpdesk.txt works with just old sc app ??

[TheTrans]

Hey all,

Sorry if this is a stupid issue, but i cant get any of these files to compile properly.

- i downloaded the latest file
-put my helpdesk.txts and .ico files in then ran the compile.cmd

what should happen now, as im afraid i dont get any .exes popping up in the folders.

Sorry if this is an easy fix but its drving me insande.

Cheers

[Cellar Dweller]

For anyone that is a programmer, if you were to look at the code used for the program TwistedBrush application could probably easily find a way to have in the exe that is created with say SC Creator that disables Aero immediately upon execution then re-enables it upon closing.

This would then give those the speed needed to be able to remotely use UVNC on Vista machines.

There also should be simple vbs scripts out there for enabling and disabling UAC created by Microsoft or someone on their end that could also be added to SC.

With a combination of both of these the Vista issues should be gone for UVNC and these could be included and automatically configured within the UNVC SC Creator, so that creation of your own exe would still be as easy as it is now without any changes except to the Creator itself behind the scenes.

If I'm late about all of this can someone post what is needed and how to fix the SLOW issues with Vista and UAC to be able to just add to the custom.zip and have the creator add automatically without having to change the helpdesk.txt

TIA

Hi Radeon,

I am interested on your solution for using UVNC SC with Windows Vista, I downloaded the file put my configuration files inside the SC_VNC_Files Folder and ran Compile.cmd. I did it using Windows XP. It created a .exe file.

Then I asked a friend with a Windows Vista PC to install and run the new exe file. I received the connection request, it opened but after a few seconds it got closed. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi JDaus,

This link did the work http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload4.pl

I have made some tests with Vista and it is working fine.

I just have a question:

In this page http://www.uvnc.com/pchelpware/sc/creator.html you find two options to generate the .exe file for remote support. At the buttom of that page it says

When uploading still gives trouble, please try following links

Based on RC3 Based on Rel1.00

But the first one sends you to http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload3.pl
and the second one to http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload2.pl

Why the official option is not using http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload4.pl, is it experimental?

Best Regards.

firstly, you should be asking questions about the information in the linked thread, within that thread, not this, as it saves confusion by future readers of this thread

...

Yes, it is still in testing, and when no more complaints are received, I am sure it will be added to the official webpage ... but I am not the developers, so I cannot say for sure ...
