As fast as possible, but it depend on the isp.

I have been trying to generate a config myself, without success.

Would it be possible to get the source code of the sc generator so that i can do it offline? if you have some sort of offline binary that would be cool too

Best regards,

JC

The generator just make a 7zip sfx file.
You need 7zip
http://www.7-zip.org/

1) download
http://www.uvnc.com/custom.zip
2) http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload9.pl
select the zip, user foo passwd foobar
3) download custom.exe

You now can open the exe ( this is actual a 7zip sfx) with 7zip and extract to a folder.

You now can make all changes to the helpdesk.txt and test it by running winvnc.exe
When all settings are ok, open 7zip, add all files select create sfx

There exist also a 7zip sfx maker project, they just added some GUI to create the sfx
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sfx-maker/

The icon insite the exe is changed with a resource tool
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Code: Select all

7z a -mx=9 -t7z UltraVncSC.7z winvnc.exe rc4.key MSRC4Plugin.dsm helpdesk.txt icon1.ico icon2.ico logo.bmp background.bmp enter.bmp
copy /b UltraVnc.sfx + config.txt + UltraVncSC.7z UltraVncSC.exe

UltraVncSC.7z=7zip sfx extractor (default name=7z.sfx)
config.txt

Code: Select all

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
Title="UltraVnc"
RunProgram="winvnc.exe"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Thank you Rudi.

I have been playing around with 7zip sfx and winvnc(SCII) that is available as a separate download as a workaround for the failure in gettin a propperly generated SC from the perl script.

I found a curious detail: winvnc behaves differently with the presence of the dlls and only presents the SC gui if they are present falling back to simple standard vnc server when they are not.

I did not realise that the user and password that you need to use on that web interface http://support1.uvnc.com/cgi-bin/upload9.pl was actually the one that you provided as i was trying to get it working with another credentials because i thought that it was some kind of credential that was going to be bundled with SC. As it turns out it's just some security measure you implemented on the perl script usage.

Anyway, that mistake made me dive into some basic of understanding on how SC works by trying out some things and going through the forum

The sc online generator is not working. I selected the zip file to upload but the page does not issue the download links. Thanks.

Any idea about when the binaries on the page will be replaced with newer versions? Most Windows 10 PCs are having a hard time getting anything through...
