Thanks!... but looks like a problem.

It looks like it installed correctly when I manually ran the setup with the driver, but not when installing through VNC Manager. I removed the 104 setup file and replaced it(same name) with the new 105 with driver setup. It deployment errored out telling me that the uninstall key wasn't found. Will have to dig a little deeper to see what is happening.

I've updated this post with the downloand link for the deployment package with graphics driver installation turned on.

An MSI installer that includes the driver would be excellent! Could you post one for download?

Someone else might wish to continue to have one without the driver as well, so you might include both.

Thanks!

We were able to modify the MSI installer for the 1.0.5 so it would install the graphics driver without additional help from the Deployment Wizard application.

Since in the 4.0.14.0 build the checkbox for the driver installation is disabled, we can provide you with a modified UVNC 1.0.5 deployment package which ignores the checkbox state and always installs the driver.

Please let me know if you need such custom deployment package.

[quote][b]jpickerell (9/4/2008)[/b][hr]Thanks for releasing the MSI for 1.0.5!!! You say there isan option in the MSI. If I want to deploy the package myself with other means, how would I go about doing that? Are there MSI command line paramaters that would allow me to set all of the settings that are available in the deployment wizzard (including driver install)?[/quote]

Jared,
for proper installation of the driver, some help from the VNC Manager is needed. In particular, the MSI package does copy all the graphics driver files, but then the installation of UVNC is finished, we had to perform a WMI call to the remote computer and launch the graphics driver installation. The reason we have to do is because installdrv.exe application fails to work properly when launched from inside the MSI installer process.

We have released UltraVNC v1.0.5 today. The MSI package has support for the driver installation. But since the VNC Manager 4.0.14.0 has this option disabled, the graphics driver installation part will only be available with the VNC Manager v4.1 release.

Most probably it will be released as an update for the 4.0.14.0 build by the end of the next week.

Most probably this option will stay disabled until UltraVNC 1.0.4 reaches RTM status. But we are sure going to enable the driver installation sooner or later.

Why is the option to deploy the mirror driver with the distribution packet of uvnc 1.0.4 R16 disabled? Is it planed to integrated the deployment of the driver in future versions? Which is the best way to deploy the driver, while it is not part of the distribution packet.
