Silent install for TightVNC.
Version 2.0.2
TightVNC v2.x is a complete rewrite. It doesn't need the Mirage driver. The Reg settings are in a different location. The command line switches are different too.
Preconfiguration Steps
- download the new software and place it in your wpkg software folder.
- on a PC install TightVNC and configure it with your password settings, etc.
- using regedit export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TightVNC\Server and save it as settings.reg in your wpkg software folder. WARNING: as others can read this file it is possible that they could decrypt the VNC passwords!

</package>
Version 1.3.0
See also silent installation for DFMirage hook display driver.
I prefer TightVNC over UltraVNC, essentially because they have viewers also for other operating systems and I'm not stuck on browser/java viewer under my preferred OS.
I install and manage TightVNC with the following XML package description:
<package id="tightvnc" name="TightVNC server" revision="130" priority="50" reboot="false">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="TightVNC 1.3.10" />
<install cmd="%SOFTWARE%\tightvnc\tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe /sp- /verysilent" />
<install cmd="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -reinstall" />
<install cmd="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -servicehelper" />
<install cmd='cmd /c netsh firewall add allowedprogram program = %ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe name = "Launch TightVNC Server"' />
<upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\tightvnc\tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe /sp- /verysilent' ><exit code="0" reboot="true" /></upgrade>
<upgrade cmd="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -reinstall" />
<upgrade cmd="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -servicehelper" />
<upgrade cmd='cmd /c netsh firewall add allowedprogram program = %ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe name = "Launch TightVNC Server"' />
<remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe" -remove' />
<remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\unins000.exe" /silent' />
</package>
<package id="tightvnc-settings" name="TightVNC server settings" revision="3" priority="5" reboot="false" execute="once">
<depends package-id="tightvnc"/>
<install cmd='cmd /c "%SOFTWARE%\tightvnc\tightvnc.bat"' />
<upgrade cmd='cmd /c "%SOFTWARE%\tightvnc\tightvnc.bat"' />
<remove cmd='echo "nothing"' />
</package>
tightvnc.bat is a simple batch script that setup TightVNC server and restart it:
:: start, restart or apply settings to tightvnc
::
net stop "VNC Server"
regedit /s %SOFTWARE%\tightvnc\tightvnc.reg
net start "VNC Server"
:: For some unknown reason the servicehelper does not restart.
::
%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -servicehelper
:: we ignore errors...
::
exit 0
tightvnc.reg contains the setup of the server, most notably the access password, i.e. I can use as a registry patch:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

NOTE that passwords are crypted, but this is no a paranoid setup, someone can easily have access to the registry patch and try to decrypt the password.
