I've been looking for something similar myself. I took a look at your suggestion Mike and it seems like the OS that the client is running is rather limited. It only works on Win2K and XP Pro (basically NT-based OS's) so that leaves out XP Home, Win98, 98se and ME...
When we're talking about remote administration for user support, it's not unusual to have older OS's installed. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

Have you tried Gencontrol from www.gensortium.com? It's a sort of "instant VNC" based on TightVNC that does a temporary install of VNC on a target (server). Mike >>> Marco Gabriel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/9/2004 5:17:37 AM >>> Hiya, I wondered if someone ever tried to create a VNC installation that is as easy as it can be for user support without installing it at every user's desktop. My favourite solution would be: 1. the user downloads an .exe from a webpage 2. the user starts the server .exe (or step 1+2 in one click :-)) 3. vnc server on user's desktop starts up and connects automatically to a support host running a listening vnc viewer I played around with a VNC 3.3.7, writing a batch to start vnc server w/ "-run" followed by a "-connect support.mydomain.com" which didn't work out because of the missing password. Now, with VNC4, the VNC server blocks as soon as I start it from a command line and I cannot run a batch that connects to a host afterwards. anybody tried something like that before? cheers, marco _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list This e-mail is intended for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
