Hallo,
Windows XP both on client an on server machine:
I updated both machines from version 1.0.8.2 to 1.0.9.5. I chose the
"update install" (not the full install). By the way: I am using the "MSRC4Plugin" encryption plugin.
After the update, I now get this error message when I try to connect to the target machine:
"Server closed connection -the server is running as application".
What does that mean and what do I need to change to make it work again ?
To be honest I am a little pissed of that after each upgrade from one version to the next UVNC stops working because of this and that error.
After more 2 000 000 (two million) views on forum for 1.5.0.x development versions... and 1.6.1.0, 1.6.3.0-dev versions
A new stable version, UltraVNC 1.6.4.0 and UltraVNC SC 1.6.4.0 have been released: https://forum.uvnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=38095

Update - "the server is running as application" error
Re: Update - "the server is running as application"
server is installed as service ?
you have been disconnected while you are still connected to remote
just start vncviewer again and reconnect to remote
another solution, use SecureVNCplugin instead msrc4plugin
but the message could exist in others case, can't remember all situation.

Re: Update - "the server is running as application"
It's the damn MSRC4Plugin. Whenever I want to use it, I have to completely reinstall UVNC, I cannot just update.
If I feel like it I will try SecureVNCPlugin. I will just have to find out what keys to generate and where to place them (same key on client and server or what ?)

Re: Update - "the server is running as application"
you won't need any key at all except if you need big secure.
if you need to use a key
all must be done at vnc server side then copy the file you created with generate viewer key and move to your usb thumb drive or anything for send to your vncviewer
