install service not working from different directory

Post by nzsolt »

Install uvnc to different directory (not c:\program files\ultravnc).
winvnc -install does not install the service.
In ultravnc.ini path is c:\program files\uvnc
What is the solution?

Have you tried it without the UseRegistry=0 setting?

Solution:

The service install only works from Ultravnc or uvnc directory

example: c:\program files\test\uvnc\winwnc -install

nzsolt,

I don't think this is a valid solution.

In ChunkVNC I copy winvnc.exe to C:\Program Files\ChunkVNC\winvnc.exe and install the service just fine from that directory.

I don't use UseRegistry=0 though.
