Steve:
EchoVNC 2.32 should install fine even with UltraVNC installed.
We've completely isolated the EchoVNC service names and registry
keys so that they won't affect each other. There should be no conflicts;
what version are you installing?
Also, sorry for not being clear: I did have our developers look
over the UltraVNC Vista updates when we started our work.
