winvnc.exe -install not working on XP?

Post by Dreamy »

Hello,

Is installing uvnc_service working on windows XP? For me it's not. When I run winvnc.exe -install in windows 7, service correctly appears in services.msc, when I do the same in windows XP, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Okey I have tested it on a fresh install and it works fine. But can't figure out what is different on system where it doesn't work. winvnc.exe -install gives no output, how can I find what's wrong?

2 reasons:
* missing run as administrator (i don't think is your case, you know enough)
* the security bit block correct install service even experienced user fail this point at many time, need copy winvnc.exe and vncviewer file trough FAT32 for override this stupid security bit

I think I just found the reason: winvnc.exe -install cannot be run from C:\WINDOWS (thought I don't see any good reason why not).
