Running portable version from command line

[itlec]

Hi guys,
I'm using UltraVNC version 1.6.4.0 portable on windows

I'm trying to integrate UltraVNC into my .NET project (VB.NET).
I tried a few .NET DLLs, but they didn't work, so I settled for UltraVNC Portable.

Background:
My program is a server client program connected via TCP socket.
I can send commands to the Client from the Server.
One of the commands is to turn on the VNC server (on the client, so I can control it from the app Server)
I ran into a few problems, so I decided to test it first with CMD...

Testing:
I created a blank ultarvnc.ini file in "%appdata%\local\UltraVNC\"
I ran "winvnc.exe -run -passwd 12344" to load the server on a computer.
The first run filled in the info, but I still got the Configuration page.
ChatGPT helped me figure out that the there is no hashed password in the ini, so I created one with "createpassword64.exe 12344" and copied it to the ini.
Now it loads without the Configuration page, but I still can't connect to it with "vncviewer.exe IP_ADDRESS::5900 -passwd 12344"
I get the following error "Failed to connect to server!"
Running vncviewer.exe (GUI) and entering a password works just fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks
