PcHelpWare + UAC + Aero support -- Working!!

[pctechxpert]

Hi Friends!

I'm new to the board but I have being around for a while reading and learning from all the post.
I finally think I put something together that can help many. Package was created using AutoIt 3.

I have come with the following PcHelpWare package:

1. Single .exe that checks if OS is Vista or not
2. If vista, UAC is disable and computer restarted
3. After reboot computer runs PcHelpWare which was added into PC registry (service).
4. XP/Vista screen resolution is modify to 800x600 for faster transfer between server and viewer.
5. Screen resolution is changed back after exiting software
6. Screen resolution is first capture to a screen.txt and then changed to 800x600 and later changed back to the resolution written to the screen.txt
7. You have full access to customize logos and images
8. All the files you need to modify are located in "supportxp"
9. Tray added to notification area to reload PcHelpWare software and for removing and restoring PC to previous state.

NOTE: only under Windows Vista clients PC will restart to disable UAC and add PcHelpWare as a service. I currently working on a better version for both XP/Vista.

Please play around with the files and sorry for not giving to much instruction on how to use it. Most of the configuration is located in the AutoIt script: PCHELP.AU3

Please post your comments and experiences if you get to test it and use it.

I will keep you posted with updates and modifications! I will also work on having a SC version and different build version based on expecific needs.

Great work!

Questions:

1. How can I translate Connect and Quit to Spanish?
2. Better yet, is it possible to have just a button to connect, without asking for Login and Password?
3. Is it possible to remote reboot the remote PC and re-gain control?
4. Which is the client program I should use? PcHelpWare_viewer.exe with 1CHATDLL.dll and 1SCVDLL.dll ?

Thank you!

Nice job!

Does this work with Windows 2003/2008, SBS2003/2008?

PCHelpware v1 does not.

Hi!

1. To translate the button you will need something like resource hack to modify it.
2. You could have only one button you will need to modify the helpdesk.txt file.
3. I'm currently working on having the script start as service and to automatically re-enter the login and password information after the first login session.
4. Use the PCHelpware viewer provided in the download.

I have test it in XP/2003/Vista. It should work on 2008 but I haven't test it.
Please understand script is base on XP and Vista. If you need it to do something on 2008 or 2003 it will need to be added to the script.

Thanks,
