start ChunkVNC even if another winvnc is installed ?

Post by plouf »

hello

i come across a problem to my tess :0

i have try ChunkVNC compiled "InstantSupport" to some machines, who already have another vnc server installed.
InstantSupport fails with a message "another instance is running", furthermore if i close chunkvnc closes the "other" server.

wondering for a workaround..

ideal would be if somehow server modified to allow to run multiple times (i.e why http server runs on different ports simultaneously ;-))

(also PCHelpware fails if uvns service is running so i cant find a "working" and easy solution)

Currently multiple VNC sessions will cause this behavior.
There isn't an elegant way to get around this and the other VNC server will have to be temporarily disabled. You'll have to do this manually for now, possibly it will happen automatically in the future.

imho it should , at least for now, quit with a message and does not close "preinstalled" service..
