This server doens not have a valid password enbled

[redge]

it is recommanded in the guidelines not to run it as a service, when you have a firewall like zonealarm running.

Not true,
you just need to do something to ZoneAlarm for prevent this behavior.

did you install vnc inside remote desktop? i get that when i tryied to do that

[TimuM]

In service mode, the password is in HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\Password
This is a REG_BINARY.

Okie. Problem can be solved by adding extra registry value called Password

I am having the same problem with UltraVNC 1.0.2... I will try to add Password Binary to the registry..and try this.. Is this a bug ?

Thanks

Dont install inside RDP, wont work. Install it on the console.

You can script a batch file to install.

You will need to download psexec.exe, part of PStools by microsoft/System Internals

REM Batch Start
REM Remote computer name
set ComputerName=192.168.1.2

NET USE \\%computerName%\IPC$ /user:administrator

REM This will stop the service, required if you are doing a remote upgrade

psexec \\%computerName% -s -i -d net stop"VNC Server"


REM Copy your local VNC files to the remote PC.
xcopy "C:\temp\VNCInstall\vnc" "\\%computerName%\C$\Program Files\ultraVNC\*.*" /r/i/c/h/k/e
xcopy "C:\temp\VNCInstall\Reg" "\\%computerName%\C$\" /r/i/c/h/k/e

REM Use Regedit to export the local VNC registry settings (from your PC or use included .reg file) to the remote PC. Note: If you prefer you can export the file locally and then copy it.

REM import the above registry file on the remote PC.

psexec \\%computerName% -s -i -d regedit /s C:\temp\VNCInstall\import.reg

REM You are using regedit on the remote PC to perform this command.

REM PsExec to install the remote winvnc service.

psexec \\%computerName% -s -i -d "C:\Program Files\ultravnc\winvnc.exe" -install

REM Use PsExec to start the remote "VNC Server" service.

psexec \\%computerName% -s -i -d net start "VNC Server"

REM Batch End

Import.reg

I had the same problem on Windows Server 2003. I fixed it by uninstalling everything, rebooting, installing the same program again, but did a few things different which caused it to work this time:

- Second time I did not install mirror/video drivers. (I just wanted it to work.)
- I checked out the Program Files directory for UltraVNC and ran check_install.exe from the command prompt.
- I started up the server from Program Files, ran Admin Properties, set the password, clicked ok.
- I was then able to connect remotely.
- I double checked the program was installed as a service, and starts up automatically.

Hi,

I had the same problem on a Windows XP Pro system. I did what tilutky suggested and could get the UVNC server to work (also had to uncheck the "Remove Aero (Vista)" checkbox). My problem now is how I make it work as a service. BY right-clicking the tray icon I get a menu with the "Install Service" option but when I click it and accept the default option of the "Run As" form, I get an error saying "Failed to open service control manager". I assume there's amore manual way to make it run as a service (SC???) but I'd appreciate if you can comment.

Thanks much,

Marcelo
