Hello, and huge thanks for UltraVNC.
One of the biggest problems I have when providing support with UltraVNC is getting the download started on an inexperienced users' computer.
Please consider a simple, short download URL that never changes, and always points to the latest UltraVNC full setup. It should be simple to say over the phone, E.g:
http://uvnc.com/latest
When the user follows that URL, they get the "Save File..." directly, no further choices to confuse the issue. In a support context, I would never want the user to download anything but the full installer.
It would be OK to use that as an ad-revenue page, as long as the download starts directly.
Thanks, and I hope you consider this usability enhancement.
Jeff

Simple, Unchanging URL to dowload latest UltraVNC full setup
Re: Simple, Unchanging URL to dowload latest UltraVNC full s
good idea ... it is one of the things that is a bit painful about UVNC ...
maybe even have an automatic update feature (that can be disabled) ... thus allowing critical updates to be downloaded and installed by not-so-computer-literate people ... and saving us poor techs from keeping a list of clients that have UVNC installed, and having to go round to them all to download & update it ...
but that a little off topic ...
i second the original posters idea ...
