Talk:UltraVNC

For installing the mirror driver in Win7-64bit, I use this batch. For more information on the method, see this post in the uvnc-forum. Information how to get the certificate for the driver can be found in this post.

For installing vnc itself, I create a msi with vnced --Konus 22:39, 28 December 2011 (CET)

here is the package I use (for 64 bit OS)

Hello,

the winvnc.exe -remove popup a dialogbox saying "The WinVNC service has been unregistered".

Is there a way to avoid this message ?

You could 1) start that command in the background, 2) wait several seconds, 3) kill the process displaying the windows with taskkill command

I found a best way to do this, just install the service and the service helper manually:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<packages>
  <package
      id='ultravnc'
      name='UltraVNC'
      revision='102'
      reboot='false'
      priority='500'>

    <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='UltraVNC v1.0.2'/>

    <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\vnc\ultravnc-102-setup.exe /verysilent /loadinf="%SOFTWARE%\vnc\ultravnc.inf"'/>

    <!-- Setup the password and the option -->
    <install cmd='regedit /s %SOFTWARE%\vnc\ultravnc.reg'/>

    <!-- Add the service helper manually -->
    <install cmd='reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v WinVNC /d "\"%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe\" -servicehelper"'/>

    <!-- Create the "VNC server" service manually, add Tcpip dependency not used by auto-installation -->
    <install cmd='sc create WinVNC binPath= "\"%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe\" -service" type= own type= interact start= auto error= severe depend= Tcpip DisplayName= "VNC Server"'/>

    <!-- enable winvnc.exe for the firewall -->
    <install cmd='netsh firewall add allowedprogram "%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe" "WinVNC server" enable all'/>
    <install cmd='net stop WinVNC'>
      <exit code='0'/>
      <exit code='2'/>
    </install>
    <install cmd='net start WinVNC'/>

    <upgrade cmd='net stop WinVNC'>
      <exit code='0'/>
      <exit code='2'/>
    </upgrade>
    <upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\vnc\ultravnc-102-setup.exe /verysilent /loadinf="%SOFTWARE%\vnc\ultravnc.inf"'/>
    <upgrade cmd='regedit /s %SOFTWARE%\vnc\ultravnc.reg'/>
    <upgrade cmd='net start WinVNC'/>

    <remove cmd='net stop WinVNC'>
      <exit code='0'/>
      <exit code='2'/>
    </remove>
    <remove cmd='sc delete WinVNC'/>
    <remove cmd='netsh firewall del allowedprogram "%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe"'/>
    <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES'/>

    <!-- The remove seems to not remove generated files -->
    <remove cmd='%ComSpec% /c rd /S /Q "%ProgramFiles%\UltraVNC"'/>

    <!-- remove unused registery keys -->
    <remove cmd='reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v WinVNC /f'/>
    <remove cmd='reg delete HKLM\Software\ORL /f'/>
    <remove cmd='reg delete HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\ORL /f'/>

  </package>
</packages>

With ultravnc.inf as follow:

[Setup]
Lang=fr
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
Components=server,server\driver,dsm
Tasks=cleanreg,properties
PropertiesFile=\\myserver\wpkg\software\vnc\ultravnc.reg

Note that ultravnc.inf does not support variables.

The ultravnc.reg is just a regdump of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL, I use the following perl script to generate the password key:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use Getopt::Long;
Getopt::Long::Configure('gnu_getopt');

use Pod::Usage;

use Crypt::DES;

my ($password, $ini, $help, $man);

GetOptions('help|h' => \$help, 'man' => \$man, 'password|p=s' => \$password,
           'ini' => \$ini) or pod2usage(2);
pod2usage(1) if $help;
pod2usage(-exitstatus => 0, -verbose =>2) if $man;

pod2usage (1) if !$password;

my $realkey = pack ('H16', "E84AD660C4721AE0");

my $cipher = Crypt::DES->new($realkey);

my $cryptpass = $cipher->encrypt($password);

# If ini file join with '', reg use ','
$ini = $ini ? '' : ',';
print uc join($ini, map {unpack('H2', $_)} split //, $cryptpass), "\n";
