Strangely, you might have to turn <b>on</b> UAC.

If it was installed as administrator and cad.exe is in the right place, and if you rebooted after turning on UAC, I don't know what else to suggest other than maybe trying TightVNC instead.

Just want to exchange and share some information:

Installed ultraVNC 1.8.0.2 for testing on a Windows Server 2008 32bit machine:

First time installation: let "Vista add-on Downloads" clicked, but didn't install mirror drivers. UAC was active. It worked perfectly. But had to make a reinstall of WIN2008 Server because of other problems.

Afterwards I installed same ultraVNC 1.8.0.2 again on a clean windows server 2008, this time without any Vista add-Ons and mirror drivers (unclicked it because of not having VISTA but Win2008). Result: CTRL-ALT-DEL responded with an: "CRTL-ALT-DEL require service, no permission". UAC on Windows was activated just like before.

Then checked the forum, but there wasn't any information on Windows Server 2008, but information about Vista and CAD.exe. Then uninstalled ultraVNC 1.8.0.2 and reinstalled ultraVNC 1.8.0.2 with Vista add-Ons, so the CAD.exe was installed also. Result:
CTRL-ALT+DEL didn't do nothing at all. The MS-Logon window just kept there, like nothing would have been clicked.

After hours of search&tries, I've realized that the real difference between the first working installation and the second was the installation path(in the second I've changed the installation path to another drive partition. Then I installed ultraVNC 1.8.0.2 into the standard directory "program files", just like suggested by the ultrasetup. And... voila!!! IT WORKED!!! The CTRL+ALT+DEL-Button of the viewer was recognized.

Seems that when installing on Windows Server 2008 32bit, it works with the standard path. Whenever you change the installation path during setup.exe to somewhere else then the "program files" folder, CAD.exe will no longer work.
