SC "Connection Failed - Invalid protocol!

[DMSFinancial]

I used SC to create an executable that successfully connects to my support PC unencrypted. However, it will not connect to my support PC using the encrypted host and I get the following:

Connection Failed - Invalid protocol!
Possible Causes:

-You've forgotten to select a DSMPlugin and the Server uses a DMSPlugin
-Viewer and Server are not compatible.

Setup is a follows:
Prior to uploading the "custom.zip" file, I created a new rc4.key and inserted it into the zip file. I also copied the rc4.key file to the UVNC program folder and have the MSRC4Plugin_NoReg checked in the service properties. I have two "Hosts" listed in the helpdesk.txt file, one with and one without the "-plugin" command.

Please assist...Thanks

I think I found my own answer...When using the the viewer in listening mode and using encryption, it appears as though you must use the "-dsmplugin" switch as follows:

"C:\program files\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe" -dsmplugin msrc4plugin_noreg.dsm -listen 5500

Hi, I too was receiving the Connection Failed - Invalid Protocol! message until I followed the steps you've outlined. However now I receive the following error:

Connection Failed - Error Reading Protocol Version
-You've forgotten to select a DSMPlugin and the Server uses a DSMPlugin
- The server DSMPlugin is not compatible with the one running on the Server
- The selected DSMPlugin is not correctly configured (also possibly on the Server)
- The password you've possibly entered is incorrect

Any idea what could be the problem. Doesn't seem any of these conditions apply to my setup since I followed the singleclick setup verbatim.

Thanks in advance.
