Video Hook Driver question

Post by carrot »

I'm trying to figure out how to use SC with the video hook driver silent install.
Here is what I have so far.
I already have VNC viewer set up and everything works fine (except the hook driver)
I downloaded custom.zip and customized it. Then I uploaded it to the second creator on the SC creation page (the one that is supposed to have the hook driver in it).
Then I sent this file to my friend to help me test it out. He ran it and I was able to see and control his computer. He right clicked on the tray icon and went to properties and clicked check driver. It said that the driver was NOT present. Does that mean that it didn't work, or is the SC app only supposed to include the driver, not install it?

Thanks again!

SC only include the hook dll, not the video hook driver.
This are 2 seperate things. The hook dll works on user level and
hook window messages to detect what changed on the screen.
The video hook driver check at video level what parts are updated.

The video hook driver is not always a one shot installation.
+ No 24 bit support, some video cards don't have 32bit
+ Driver install/uninstall require a reboot
SC was made for easy install and run, the video hook driver is just to complicate for it.

SC detect a previous istalled driver and can use it when installed, but you
need to install it via a seperate installer.
