Hello,
I'm trying run two instances UltraVNC server simultaneous. One is running as service for remote support in local network (allow all connection, allow admins by MSLogon, no encryption), second as application started by user for remote support in public network (with command line arguments to connect to repeater, password protection and encryption).
But if I run second instance these arguments was implemented to first winvnc.exe (service) and this service made a connection to repeater (but with service settings - without encryption and so). I try run next instance and situation was repeated, arguments was implemented to second instance (like N-1 system).
BTW servers use another ports and settings in ini files. If I manually create new repeater connection (by Add Client) everything works great.
Thank You for help.
PS Sorry for my English, it is not my native language.

Two instances UVNC server
Re: Two instances UVNC server
It can't be done (as far as I know).
Try using two different remote control programs. VNC plays well with all the others.

Try running the application session in this way:
Code: Select all
winvnc.exe -sc_prompt -multi -id:1234 -connect repeater_IP:5500 -run
Re: Two instances UVNC server
This is working. Can you explain me what -sc_promt do? It's seems that reduces some features.YY wrote:Try running the application session in this way:

Now I try to run two services of ultravnc. Of course second is installed by windows service command with other name and new program files folder. I made new revision of ChunkVNC, but this is last problem (install as service if other normal uvnc service exists).
Re: Two instances UVNC server
The "-sc_prompt", by its original purpose, is to trigger a prompt window at the listening viewer, if the server is making a reverse connection to that viewer.
So in my example, it is in fact doing nothing, since the connection is making to a repeater.
The "-multi" is the element to meet your requirement ... i.e. to start an application session of uvnc, while there is a service session already running ..... but you will find that this is not working, the application session will just pass the operation to the service session
However, if the "-sc_prompt" is included inside the command, then the "-multi" operation will be working as expected.
I can tell you this fact, but I don't know why.

Re: Two instances UVNC server
+1 for -multi that works when the service is installed.
Unless I'm missing something I never did get -multi to work.
The odd thing is I can have UltraVNC and TightVNC on the same machine and it works fine...
