DSMPlugin registry value?

Post by edward »

I am attempting to automate installation/setup of the WinVNC server and the MSRC4Plugin.dsm.

Can somebody explain the DSMPlugin registry value fo me? The documentation appears to conflict with the actual usage.

The example at http:\WWWdownloads\UltraVNC\UltraVNC_Registry_settings.mht states:

"DSMPlugin : The filename of the DSM Plugin to be used to modify the communication data stream (PluginName.dsm)".

I interpret this to mean that it should be a Reg_SZ string value. However, having manually configured the MSRC4Plugin.dsm from the VNCviewer popup window, the registry entry is a REG_BINARY containing (when exported):

"DSMPlugin"=hex:4d,53,52,43,34,50,6c,75,67,69,6e,2e,64,73,6d,00,78,01,3f,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,28,73,02,00,c8,67,48,00,94,fe,12,00,03,00,\
00,00,18,00,00,00,00,00,40,00,c8,67,48,00,94,fe,12,00,18,00,00,00,fc,fe,12,\
00,f8,52,3f,00,00,00,3f,00,80,fc,12,00,0d,52,75,6e,6e,69,6e,67,00,88,fa,77,\
78,1c,f5,77,ff,ff,ff,ff,3a,8a,f5,77,8b,84,44,00,00,00,3f,00,00,00,00,00,10,\
00,00,00,ab,f1,a9,70,58,54,3f,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,b0,ff,12,00,04,d9,44,00,98,eb,45,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,82,83,44,\
00,0b,00,00,00,6f,83,44,00,0b,00,00,00,ab,f1,a9,70,ec,65,45,00,f8,52,3f,00,\
44,d0,46,00,fc,70,40,00,f8,cf,46,00,20,ff,12,00,b0,ff,12,00,b5,84,45,00,01,\
00,00,00,d6,5d,43,00,ab,f1,a9,70,00,00,00,00,c0,ff,12,00,00,f0,fd,7f,ff,ff,\
ff,ff,00,00,00,00,df,9b,44,00

Of this, only the first 15 hex bytes seem relevant.

Are any of the remaining hex bytes relevant?

If not, can the hex string be truncated after the terminating "00" byte?

Otherwise, how is the hex string constructed?

I'm not an expert on this by any means but I have exported the registry after a clean install with dsm plugin set and i exported ORL under current user and ORL under Local Machine.

When I then pushed this registry to another machine it seemed to work, but I have had other machines give me wierd errors.
I just have the properties screen come up and have the user set it real quick the first time and then be done with it.

Rudi De Vos has already given an authoratative reply to this question in the "General Help" forum, here: [post=3141][/post].

I reposted the query in "General Help" simply because no one seemed to be viewing the DSM Plugin forum.
