This is a silent installer and uninstaller for distrubution of UltraVNC.

Package for UltraVNC 1.0.6.4

This builds on the example from 1.0.5.3, with the notable addition of the extra work to install the video driver. The bad news is that the video driver doesn't work unless the client option "WPKG User Interface Show" checkbox is checked. The good news is that if that's checked, the below will work. It's worth noting that the installation package no longer creates the 'driver' directory; this must now be done manually. You will have to setup your software repository with this directory. Further, the installer ocationally is unable to make the HKLM\Software\OLE directory, thus the ACL import will fail leaving your clients unable to authenticate. The acl.reg file is taken from a correctly setup host and imported in to the registry before the import. Technically redundant, but the installer is touchy so both are included.

Because of the issues with the video driver, I have commented out the installation bits. They are included here for completeness sake.

Package for UltraVNC 1.0.5.3

A lot has changed since v1.0.2:

  • The norestart-switch is no longer necessary for the installer, only for the un-installer.
  • "winvnc -installs" seems to start servicehelper too.
  • The mirror driver is not installed together with UltraVNC automaticaly. This package example however also also installs/uninstalls it but it can also be put into a seperate package if you want.
  • UltraVNC settings are no longer saved into the registry but in a seperate ultravnc.ini file. So you will have to create that ini file with an existing installation (maybe the one resulting from generating the setup inf file (by using the /saveinf=filename.inf switch)) and copy it into your software directory.

This example automatically copies rc4.key for encryption and MSLogonACL for MSLogon.

Note that you can save changes to the defaults by saving an inf file during setup (by using the /saveinf=filename.inf switch), then retrieve them during deployment (using the /loadinf=filename.inf switch).

There is a problem with installation of UltraVNC Mirror Driver on some computers - installation freezes.


UltraVNC 1.0.2 Mirror Driver

The mirror driver is included in the regular installer. It does not need to be installed separately.


UltraVNC 1.0.2 Alternative installation

I couldn't install it with the UltraVNC installer on some machines - it was hanging all the time.

Here's a batch script which:

  • copies UltraVNC directory to %PROGRAMFILES% (available in UltraVNC-102-Bin.zip)
  • removes the service - if you had any other VNC servers installed in the past, this step might be helpful to avoid potential conflicts
  • adds the service
  • adds registry entries - after configuring the server (password, access etc., copy \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\)
  • starts the service
  • uses "echo" to exit with code 0
%SOFTWARE%\robocopy %SOFTWARE%\UltraVNC\UltraVNC C:\Programme\UltraVNC /MIR /W:3 /R:3 >nul
C:\Programme\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe -remove
C:\Programme\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe -sinstall
regedit /s %SOFTWARE%\UltraVNC\VNCHooks_Settings.reg
regedit /s %SOFTWARE%\UltraVNC\ultravnc.reg
net start WinVNC
echo


Windows Firewall

When installing silently the Windows Firewall won't prompt you to allow the VNC Server. You can script allowing traffic to the VNC server (on TCP port 5900, from all sources) using: 

netsh firewall add portopening TCP 5900 "VNC server" enable all
