Is this to a Windows client, and if so, is it to 9X/ME or NT/2K? If yes,
and to NT/2K I might have an answer; I've pushed the service out to
individual workstations via the following method:
1. Install VNC service on local PC on either 2K or NT depending on target
OS (Target OS has relevance for a regedit merge later).
2. Start service, and give password.
3. Export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\winvnc and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL. You can merge these into a single reg file
for simplicity's sake, mine is tridia.reg.
4. Copy winvnc.exe, omnithread_rt.dll, VNCHooks.dll and zlib.dll to a
central location, such as a server
5. Create a batch file with the following (or similar, depending upon where
you put the copied files, etc.)lines in the same place as the copied files:
MD "C:\Program Files\TridiaVNC\win32"
copy \\SERVER\APPS\Tridia\*.* "C:\Program Files\TridiaVNC\win32" /y
%WINDIR%\regedit.exe /s \\SERVER\APPS\Tridia\Settings\tridia.reg
6. Use task scheduling service (on 2K, or NT4 if IE5 or later is installed,
AT service if NT4, but no IE5) to run the batch file with the command line
pointed to your central distribution point, and with admin privs.
7. Restart target workstation.
I know it's a little longwinded (apologies), but it's worked for me.
Haven't tried anything similar on 9X or ME, though.
