UVNC 1.8.0.2 + Vista/Seven + using repeater, doesn't work!

[Vik2009]

Hi,

I have one computer with an app made by me and when I launch the app as user administrator does next steps:
- kill all winvnc.exe process
- launch winvnc.exe
- launch winvnc.exe -autoreconnect ID:1234 -connect myrepeater::10000
From other computer I connect to this computer using ID:123 and the repeater data.
This works fine in Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven. Always using desktop session and a user administrator.

If I launch this app as a service (user SYSTEM) on Windows 2000/XP, the application keeps working well. In Windows Vista and 7 all seems to be perfect but when I connect from the viewer using repeater data, the vncviewer shows me a black screen.
With other version of UVNC, the vncviewer shows me a little window by one second and closes.

If I install UVNC full version as a service, direct connections works fine in all systems, but when I launch winvnc.exe from an application-service (SYSTEM user) doesn't work.

Someone have any solution for using repeater connections on Windows vista/seven from a service (system user)?

Sorry for my english,
Víctor

Because of how Vista/7 handle secure desktops this is actually expected behavior.

The way UltraVNC currently gets around this by spawning another process in the users desktop. If you try running the server by spawning it from a SYSTEM process it will only see the secure desktop which is black.

If you install UltraVNC as a service from either the tray menu or command line (winvnc.exe -installs) it will work correctly.

You can get the service to reconnect to your repeater by editing the ultravnc.ini file.

Last day I was tested this feature.
Works fine!
I only have to edit .ini for one repeater or another.
Thanks a lot,
