Better VNC support on windows 8

Post by Rudi De Vos »

Update 11/09/2012
Release 1.1.0 (Beta)

vnc for windows 8 (Beta)
With windows 8 microsoft introduced a new way of capturing the desktop. Instead of using a low level "mirror driver" we now can proper capture the desktop at user level. Same speed as with the driver, but without the hussle of installing it and the directx limitations..

The update also handle multiple desktops ( with negative coordinates), this wan't working in previous version..

Download (beta).

https://uvnc.eu/download/1097.

ultravnc1097_win32.exe:msi installer ( winvnc.exe and all dll's)
ultravnc1097_x64.exe:msi installer( winvnc.exe and all dll's)
Installer put randam password in ini file, set your own after install
ultravnc1097_x64.zip: (winvnc.exe and w8hook.dll)
ultravnc1097_win32.zip:(winvnc.exe and w8hook.dll).

You can test it by only using the 2 files(winvnc.exe and w8hook.dll).
[_]poll fullscreen <<<not needed with w8hook
[v]system hookdll <<use w8hook.

The viewer need to be downloaded from 1.0.9.6.2, only server changed to handle new wdm1.2 video drivers.
