Ok, this one has got me stumped. I had VNC 3.3.3 installed. I uninstalled
it, then installed the Tridia flavor latest version. I didn't like the
infinate auto-retry feature of the client, so I uninstalled, then
reinstalled VNC 3.3.3 and rebooted in between all of these steps. Now, I
try to install the VNC service and it tells me that it can't because some
process is locking the registry keys needed. I stopped all services and
killed all processes that I could, then tried again and got the same error.
I opened regedit and found the keys in question to be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINVNC]
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINVNC\0000]
"Service"="winvnc"
"Legacy"=dword:00000001
"ConfigFlags"=dword:00000000
"Class"="LegacyDriver"
"ClassGUID"="{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}"
"DeviceDesc"="VNC Server"
If I try to even read the contents of these keys, it says there is an
error reading the key. If I try to delete it, it says there was an error
deleting the key. I rebooted to safe mode and tried there and got the same
thing. How the #@$$ do I remove this key? Right now, I am sitting with no
installation of VNC on this computer and all traces of it removed except for
this key. Any ideas?
BTW, this is a Windows 2000 Pro box with SP1.
