System Requirements for UltraVNC (older versions)

Post by Shadow Lord »

Hello,

I have the fortune of supporting a number of vintage computer systems. These systems run OSes ranging from plain DOS to WinXP. I am trying to determine which (if any) versions of UltraVNC ran on these older machines. This is what I have determined so far:

DOS - Never Ran
WfW/Win 3.x: ????
Windows 9x: Last Version to run/install was 1.0.2
Windows NT 4.0: ???? I am guessing 1.0.2 but have not verified it
Windows 2000: Current (1.2.09 x32 - VERIFIED by me)
Windows XP: Current (1.2.09 x32 - VERIFIED by me; x64 - ???? But don't see why not)

Any help with Win 3.x and NT is appreciated. Thank you.

Nobody knows? Not even the developers at least what versions were supported (if at all) on WinNT/WfW 3.11???

Long time ago...but first compiler we used was VC6.0

◾Visual Studio 6 runs on Windows 95 and higher and Windows NT 4sp3 and higher
SC is still build with visual studio 6.0, so possible it run on NT.

We don't have any version that run on DOS or on a DOS shell like 3.11

Okay. Thanks for letting me know. Then potentially the same version that runs under Win9x should run under NT. I will try it as soon as I get the NT box back up and running. I will post the test results here

Also what is "SC"?

Quick Update:

I have verified that UltraVNC 1.0.2 does run under WinNT 4.0 SP6a w/ a few issues:

1. When run as a service there is no icon in the Tray. On reboot you get the icon or you can run the "service helper"
2. You have to set a VNC Password even if you plan to use MS Logon.
3. MS Logon I works fine
4. If you want to use MS Logon II then you must install Microsoft Security Configuration Manager for Windows NT 4.0 (this will install MMC 1.0 as well). Otherwise you will get an error message "aclui.dll not available w/ this OS" when you try to turn on MS Logon II.

A suggestion: Maybe we can have a FAQ or something setup with these kinds of questions (e.g. What versions are supported in hat OS. Gives answer and direct linkage to dls?) The UAC issue and Administrator Filtered Token is another good candidate. Thanks!
