Some of my friends asked me how i made my own SC solution.
Well before i made it myself i was trying to use some already tools that are here, on SC on the site, but there was always few problems:
- SC should work just by "single" click, not many buttons, i really need something for very first PC users
- SC should work with all options UVNC have (like file transfer, many image compression systems etc.)
- SC should work without problems on 386 and x64, XP, Vista and Win7.
SC solutions here are way too complicated, then needed too much time to prepare everything, and they were not compatible with latest UVNC, and it was most important thing for me.
So here is my solution:
1. Install UltraVNC, and UltraVNC x64 (into different folder).
you may run installer of X64 version without problems on i386 Windows OS.
2. Download latest WinRAR and WinRAR x64 (You may download only X64 version if You use x64 Windows OS, because it have i386 executables we need).
3. Install WinRAR for your architecture.
If it is x64 version, then go to point 4.
3.1 If you installed i386 WinRAR then extract second downloaded file (x64 version) with it to some temporary folder.
3.2 Open that temporary folder and copy file "Default64.SFX" to the directory, where you have installed WinRAR (Usually C:\Program Files\WinRAR, you may check it clicking right mouse button on shortcut in start menu, and choosing properties, it will show you file location there)
4. Go to Your UltraVNC (i386) folder and prepare file "ultravnc.ini" with such lines inside:
[Permissions]

passwd and passwd files are not used, but i add them if someone will try to connect from outside to the computer, that we curretly use. This configuration do not use any "hook" or "display" drivers, so it may work little slower without them, but for sure more stable and less problematic.
REMEMBER TO CHANGE passwd and passwd2 into some other random numbers.
5. Copy "ultravnc.ini" into UltraVNC x64 folder.
6. Run WinRAR, inside the WinRAR go to UltraVNC (i386) folder.
6.1 Select files:
authadmin.dll
authSSP.dll
ldapauth.dll
logging.dll
logmessages.dll
ultravnc.ini
vnchooks.dll
winvnc.exe
workgrpdomnt4.dll
Click "Add" button.
6.2 in "General" tab select:
Archive format: RAR
Compression method: Best
Select in Archiving options: Create SFX archive, Create solid archive, Lock archive.
I also select "Put authentic verification" so my customers know from who they got the software.
Archive name: MySCi386.exe
You may put there name for Your single click executable that customers will use. MySCi386.exe is just an exmaple, but it may be whatever you want.
6.3 Go to "Advanced" tab, click on "SFX options" button, and there:
6.3.1 In "General" tab find "Run after extraction" form and put there (without quotes): "winvnc.exe -connect YOURHOST:5500 -run"
YOURHOST = The IP or domain name of computer, that will wait for customers connection. It may be repeater host also, but i didn't try this to work with "repeater" software.
6.3.2 Go to "Modes" tab and select "Unpack to temporary folder".
6.3.3 From "Silent mode" radio buttons choose "Hide all".
6.3.4 Go to "Update" tab, and select there "Extract and replace files" and "Overwrite all files".
6.3.5 Go to "Module" tab, and select SFX module to use. Because we firstly prepare i386 version, we will left Default.SFX (it is 32bit, even when You use WinRAR x64).
Click OK button.
6.4. You will back into "Archive name and parameters" windows.
Click OK button.
Your file is made in the UltraVNC folder. It got name, that You put in "Archive name" form in 6.2
6.5 Repeat all operations for x64 version same way (from 6.2 to 6.3.5), except two things:
- use UltraVNC x64 folder
- in 6.3.5 choose DefaultX64.sfx.
And that is enough, now unblock port 5500 (TCP) on your firewall, install UltraVNC and start UltraVNC Client (listen mode). When customer will run the prepared ultravnc session, it will connect with "YOURHOST" and you will see his desktop.
Also when customer will close ultravnc session, winrar will automatically delete all files that were used, so it is cleans olution
The main packages are less than 1MB of diskspace, so it is simple to transfer them over internet, even when it;s slow.Ofcourse You may protect archive with passwords, or generate many packages with different passwords, for different customers etc.
I think this is all, if anyone got some ideas to add for my *real* single click solutionn, then please share them
