winvnc.exe -connect issue

[brurp]

I cannot add new client with parameter. example winvnc.exe -connect IP:Port. Nothing happens when I execute.

Add New Client in GUI is working.

This issue is tested in version 1.3.60. Old version 1.2.40 is working.

commandline require "-run" at the end.
using the
service_commandline it's without the "-run"

UltraVNC is installed as a service, so if i add -run at the end, i will get "Another instance of WinVNC is already running".

I have tried to stop service, close UltraVNC and then add -run paramter. It seems to work in application mode.

But there is still a issue when it is running as a service.

This issue is confirmed with multiple clients in version 1.3.60. OS is Windows 10 Version 21H2. uvnc_service is installed as default.

When winvnc is running as service only add new client from the GUI works.
There is no commandline to instruct a service to start a new connection.
The GUI actual use some internal window message to be able todo this.
A user stared exe doesn't have the required permissions.

It's possible with some workaround
-create a myserver.ini with service_commanline = -autoreconnect -connect ....
-stop service
-copy myserver.ini as ultravnc.ini
-start service
