Hello! The pre-release of version 2.20 is now available:
ftp://ftp.echogent.com/EchoVNC/bin/EchoVNC-2.20PRE-Setup.exe
This version includes many of the requested minor repairs
(trouble with vnclang.dll, service tray icon not going invisible, etc.),
and is also includes our best effort with Vista UAC support.
As many of you know...Windows Vista has a advanced security
feature call "User Account Control" (UAC) which does not play
nicely with VNC. Many actions on a Vista PC (e.g., deleting some
files, opening regedit, etc.) cause a "UAC Popup", that requires
explicit user approval. However...that popup is *not* displayed in
the same console session that VNC is remoting. So, in previous
versions, the remote user can't see the popup, and so can't approve
it. In this release, we've attempted a workaround: the EchoVNC
Server automatically detects the UAC popup and then instructs the
Viewer to "reconnect" to the Vista PC, specifically to the special
console window that's displaying it. Then the remote user can
access it. A bit convoluted, but I think it works...
One caveat: it requires you to install EchoVNC as a Windows
service, on the Vista PC, so that it has permission to work with UAC.
Most users run EchoVNC as a service, though, so no biggie.
As usual, any feedback is appreciated!
