[1.1.9.6] differences between msi and exe installer

[konus]

Hello,
thank you for offering an msi installer! I am planning to deploy it in our network and I noticed some small problems/differences with the 64bit Version of msi-installer in contrast to the exe-installer

1. after deploying with the msi installer, there is no uninstall entry in the software control panel.
I found the regkey for the msi uninstaller under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{4ABD1242-7176-49CC-A128-AB9506C72DC7}
It seems to be on the right place and looks somewhat similar to the entry for the exe uninstaller
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Ultravnc2_is1
but I did not found the problem

Can somebody help?

2. after deploying the msi installer, it is not possible to launch a vnc-file. (possible this problem?)
I found, that it is necessary to create the following regkeys (save as import.reg and import into registry with admin rights)

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vnc]
@="VncViewer.Config"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config]
@="VNCviewer Config File"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\uvnc bvba\\UltraVNC\\vncviewer.exe,0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VncViewer.Config\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\uvnc bvba\\UltraVNC\\vncviewer.exe\" -config \"%1\""

If it still does not work, search and delete any keys under HKCU with vnc_auto_file (I figure, these are created by Windows If the above entrys are missing)

Code: Select all

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.vnc]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\vnc_auto_file]

Can somebody confirm this solution? Would it be possible to integrate this in future versions of the msi installer?
