hi, i have still problem with gray screen.
how do I fix it?

[Rudi De Vos]

If you select grayscale you still got colors ?

[ninoalcamo]

i have problem with gray screen not with grayscale.
i have 2 server: 1 xp and 1 seven
i have 3 client too: 2 seven and 1 xp ...

only 1 seven client connects to servers... the others show grayscreen... the connection is up... the remote commands work, but I don't see anything, only grayscreen.

Making an official update for 10962
inno setup ( with donwload of non gpl files)
msi (only contain gpl files, can be installed without network)

The problem with the installers is that when no previous ultravnc.ini exist, the installer wait
as soon as you start the service. I realy want to avoid a service with empty password...and believe me,
people just keep clicking next... even when you tell to set a password.

To avoid blocking during install..auto set a random password when no passwd exist ?

Anything else for the installers ?

To avoid blocking during install..auto set a random password when no passwd exist ?

Yes, this definitely makes sense.

[Rudi De Vos]

msi created
http://www.uvnc.eu/download/10962/UltraVnc10962.msi
If ultravnc.ini doesn't exist it create a ultravnc.ini with a random password.

You can also try to add some msi command line
UltraVnc10962.msi PASSWORD=mypasswd, this should set the full passwd access.

Anything else for the installers ?

Sorry, a little late... one more thing I could imagine:
If installed/installing as service, setting the SAS registry key along with installing the service? If you see a security leak, a option within the installer to check or uncheck this would be thinkable.

[Rudi De Vos]

Made new msi installers
*set random password to avoid properties popup after install
*set allow softwarecad for ctrl-alt-del

Special install functions are done with some little exe
( possible they are usefull for other who create there own installers )
create random password if no passwd exist, can also be used to set the passwords.
setpasswd.exe [full_pass] [viewonly_pass]
set registry to allow software ctrl-alt-del
setcad.exe

msi internal options, i guess this can be used as command line, no msi expert
SERVICE=1
CAD=1
SERVER=1
VIEWER=1
PASSWORD=mypass

Did some of you already tested the msi files...
I'm getting some report that the x64 msi installer report a corrupt file, but testing the download myself all install correct ?

[Cheval]

In my case it is the inno x64 file that reports is corrupt on the download.

Actually both the MSI and inno x64 files fail to download for me. Both stop at around 75% done.

I'm afraid that I'm unable to find the source code for the MSI installer. It certainly isn't a wix project... what technology is being used to build the msi database?

Cheers

[Rudi De Vos]

msi: VS2010 deployment project.

Does MSI install mirror driver?

It will be useful for group policy deployment.

[Rudi De Vos]

No, the msi only install the GPL components.
If you require the mirror driver or schook, it need to be installed seperate.

[montag]

For my personal experience, mirror driver is mandatory for performance reason.

It wasn't included for license problem?

Could you provide a separate MSI installer with mirror driver?

Thank you!

Unfortunately Microsoft Security Essentials still flags the 1.0.9.6.2 setup.exe file as a potentially unwanted program...

[rsutton]

I, too, am getting the Microsoft Security Essentals message saying that 1.0.9.6.2 is a threat.

Sorry, don't get a msi driver installer working..

Hello,

I've created a Transformation for the MSI Package in which i tried to set the following item in the ultravnc.ini
(along other settings in the registry, like the Active-Directory Logon-Group):

[admin]
UseRegistry=1

I tried it using a new file-entry (to be installed from source) in the hope that it will remain.
I tried it a second time using an IniFile entry, but also no success.
As long as no CustomAction runs, everything is fine. The problem is, that the CustomAction is also required to install the service.

Could you please introduce a switch (e.g. MSI Property) used to tell the CustomAction not to change the ultravnc.ini ?!
Or better: first read the registry for a certain key/value. When that exists, please ignore the ini-file.

Best regards, Uwe

i have run the 1.0.9.6.2 x64 msi and the setcad program doesn't seem to be successful in adding the registry key. i've tried running it by hand after the install and still no sign of softwaresasgeneration in registry (i searched to see if it go in the wrong place).
