vnchooks.dll file version

[mbrown]

I have a batch file that installs/upgrades UltraVNC for computers on my LAN (I don't use the video driver). The batch first stops the service, deletes all files in the server's UltraVNC directory, then copies the files for the newer version from a network share, then applies a .reg file with the settings I like, including password, and finally restarts the service.

This works fine, since I am not using the video driver, except for one issue: the vnchooks.dll file does not delete because it is in use. Then, of course, the file copy process does not copy the new vnchooks.dll file to the server. UltraVNC still works fine, but this vnchooks issue is bothering me.

I see that the version of vnchooks.dll is 3.3.6.0 on the computers. With the new release (1.1.0.0), I have recently been playing around with the /saveinf and /loadinf instead of my batch, and noticed that the log says that it tries to copy version 1.1.0.0 of the vnchooks.dll, but I have a newer version (3.3.6.0), so it skips it.

What I want to know is what the differences are between the two versions and what I can do to get the 1.1.0.0 version to overwrite the older 3.3.6.0 version. Please help.

Thanks

For rel 1.0 all version have been set to 1.1.0.0.

1.1.0.0==3.3.6 (hookdll didn't change in ages, realvnc number).
It is no problem if you keep the old file, as they are both identical.

Great, Rudi. Thank you very much!
