I created the MSI using WIX. Basically I just used the ZIP file that you can download from the TightVNC site and added in the registry entries. The instructions for using WIX are quite long winded…so you will need to read them yourself.. I will try and update this to the latest version of tight vnc as soon as possible..possibly releasing a patch if i can

Hi,

Can you post instructions how to create the MSI and add the service password?
The latest version of TightVNC has 2 passwords. The MSI is very useful.

@Malcolm
Sure – that part I had sort of worked out – the real issue I didnt seem to be able to surmount was extracting the des encryption to allow a password to be set at installation – I just need an exportable dll function call that I can call on a custom action….

Cheers

I’m currently doing a desktop deployment and came across your post here and on Nabble (http://www.nabble.com/(no-subject)-td23109717.html).

Taking a quick look through the source the following line seems to control where the VNCServer config is stored in the registry:

winvnc/WinVNC.h:51:#define WINVNC_REGISTRY_KEY “Software\\ORL\\WinVNC3″

Once I get back to my office I’ll take a look at recompiling the source and running the server to see if it truly is that simple.
