[Unattended] tightvnc - setting password + starting as a service - how?
Hello, I would like to install TightVNC using Unattended, so that after it is installed, I can log on to the machine remotely using password I specified (with Unattended). Is it possible? So far it was possible for me to only install TightVNC, then I have to configure everything (set password, start as a service) by hand.

Hi Tomasz! I would like to install TightVNC using Unattended, so that after it is installed, I can log on to the machine remotely using password I specified (with Unattended). Is it possible? Yes, with a registry hack. After TightVNC is installed, you apply an registry patch which contains your settings, including the password. The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default the value is Password. It is encrypted - the easiest way is to use one installation of tightvnc, set the desired password and then grab the encrypted value from that registry. cu Niels --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588alloc_id=12065op=click ___ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info

regedit /s is your friend You can also take a look at wininstall LE. A free software which creates msi packages. greetings Am Mi, den 10.11.2004 schrieb Tomasz Chmielewski um 12:35: Niels S.

RE: [Unattended] Help - partition scheme problems
Tobias Thanks very much. This was similar to what I tried - with the big difference being that it worked - your help is much appreciated. I now have an unattended install system that gives me different partition layouts based on MAC address - we give laptops a second partition to store user data on. I shall now go away and play to try make it preserve an existing 2nd partition on rebuild without my intervention.

Afterwards it deletes the first partion and creates at that place a new partion of 2GB (this is needed for the first paret of install).

RE: [Unattended] tightvnc - setting password + starting as a serv ice - how?
I would like to install TightVNC using Unattended, so that
after it is
installed, I can log on to the machine remotely using password I
specified (with Unattended).
I hacked the the scripts from http://www.darkage.co.uk/vnc/ to install
ultravnc on the local box - as it uses domain auth to validate users ;)
The attatched file (rename to vnc7.cmd) is the one I use - I call it like
this:
todo.pl %Z%\packages\VNC\vnc7.cmd %COMPUTERNAME%
It relies on some of the unattended environment variables being setup, but
I've also used that script in a round about way to install on users dialed
in over a 33 modem link in a couple of minutes - and found the quality of
the connection over the link to be very very good.
HTH,
Mark.

Re: [Unattended] tightvnc - setting password + starting as a service - how?
Thomasz, I went through the same question the other day and came up with the following solution. I wrote a script in AutoIt containing the following registry changes: RegWrite(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default, Password, REG_BINARY, password in hex) RegWrite(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default, PasswordViewOnly, REG_BINARY, password in hex) To get the REG_BINARY password from the registry, install it on a clean PC, set the password when you start the service, extract the encoded VNC password from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\Password entry, remove the spaces from the password when you put it in the AutoIt script and your there! I compiled this to an AutoIt executable file so I could execute it later. I modified the tightvnc.bat file in the install\scripts directory to read todo.pl %Z%\packages\tightreg.exe todo.pl %Z%\packages\tightvnc-1.2.9-setup.exe /silent \%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe\ -install startup-type.pl automatic winvnc This will set the VNC Server service to start automatically when Windows boots. I figured since the last process is to bounce the machine it wouldn't be a problem :) Hope this helps.
