Hi, thanks for the MSI installer!
A few questions:
If I want to pre-set the VNC password, can that be done, and how?
Similarly, if I want to change the install location?
and I think that install does not change any firewall settings, am I right?
and finally ( for the moment) I'm debating the difficulties of trying to get the right MSI version to 32 and 64 bit machines
What reasons you can think of not to use the 32-bit version on all machines? any lack of functionality or speed?
Thanks again.

Re: MSI-related questions
x64: Only required when you want to use a mirror driver.
The appl and the driver share memory, sharing the same memory between x64 and x86 apps is asking for trouble.
The performance difference is minor ( 2%)
What most people do to preset settings
1) Create a ultravnc.ini on a local PC by opening winvnc.exe and making the changes to the options ( passwd/encryption/encoders etc...)
2) Then the copy this file in the same folder as winvnc.exe on the remote server. After restart of winvnc, the new settings are used.
All vnc settings are in a single file.
path ( i never tested this myself)
msiexec /passive TARGETDIR="C:\MyTagretDirectory" /i MyProject.msi

Re: MSI-related questions
Thanks for that; but I'm trying to use the MSI in its "Proper" way. I have previously used vncscan / fastpush but then software scans don't report back correct versions etc.
So modifying the MSI with own ultravnc.ini so that it's right on first start, specifying location, specifying no icons on desktop etc.
How is the MSI constructed in your builds, maybe I can adapt that? or should I build a "Transform"?
Thanks.

Re: MSI-related questions
You can download a snapshot ( then you have the latest version)
http://sourceforge.net/p/ultravnc/code/814/tree/
The VS2010 (winvnc.sln) when you open it you wil see multiple projects, 2xUltraVnc=deployment projects ( x86 / X64) that are used to build the msi.
If you create your own msi, you can add a predefined ultravnc.in and change the icons
Please let me know if you can create something better, my own msi knowledge isn't that big
