Running winvnc.exe with no local admin rights to local pc

Post by MrChris »

I am trying to wrap winvnc.exe into a AutoIt Script that writes all the nessisary Reg Entries and copies the files to where they need to be at ect.. But if I not logged in as an administrator on the local XP/2000 machine and run winvnc.exe -run it still wants to write/read from the System area of the Reg (HK_Local_Machine) instead of (HK_Current_User)
I am trying to set a password for the winvnc.exe server running in the Users Reg (user.dat) allowing users to run winvnc.exe in user mode with out having local admin rights.

Can this be done?

Many thanks,

MrChris

In 104 RCX, the registry is replaced by a file in the same directory
as winvnc. ultravnc.ini.

You can create the file in advance and add it to your installer.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned that I was using EchoVNC v2.36. Maybe I will send an email to Scot Best.

Is this normal for UltraVNC 1.0.2 to act this way? Or could this be a EchoVNC thing?

Many thanks,

MrChris
