This does not work for me, I get an error saying, "This application failed to start because MSVCR71D.dll was not found. Reinstalling the applicaion may fix the problem." I've tried it on Vista & XP

Posted by ahhyeah 1 year ago ( 09-Jul-2007 07:27:49 )

I downloaded the file here http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr71d

Ok, I got it to work, now how do I get TightVNC to to run as a service like you can with the original version? Thanks

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 09-Jul-2007 12:01:46 )

Something about how I did the interface makes it not work as a service. I'm not sure what and my ability to debug services is not so great, so without input from the actual VNC guys I'm not sure I'll be able to enable service support.

Nate, what version of VisStud did you use to build this... it's not building "right out of the box" for me using VisStud 2005. (the errors are basically just VisStud complaining about depreciated functions, which is easy to get around)

Oop, spoke too soon... actually, it looks like your archive is missing "rfbproto.h".

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 11-Jul-2007 11:19:34 )

diadjika, you need to configure your router to forward port 5800 from the Internet to your computer. A great tutorial is here: Lifehacker Firewall Tutorial. It says VNC is port 5900 but you want to use 5800 instead.

midiwall, I built it on Visual C++ 2003 - the rfbproto.h thing is weird because I didn't think I referenced it from anywhere. Might be in the TightVNC code, but I think rfbproto.h is a standard header file.

Posted by midiwall 1 year ago ( 11-Jul-2007 11:24:19 )

cool.. thanks Nate. I'll dig into this and see what the service issue is. I'm an old service hack from way back. :)

Thanks midiwall.

Someone was complaining on the Digg story about crashes in Vista. I don't have Vista so I can't really look into it, though.

Posted by ksampler 1 year ago ( 11-Jul-2007 15:24:13 )

Awesome work. There is a MUCH easier way to Remote Control a desktop......LogMeIn (FREE)! After you connect to a desktop, just click Preferences, and change the Default Remote Control to HTML.....voila! Fast, easy, secure connection...even works over EDGE. I will post a screenshot shortly.

Posted by midiwall 1 year ago ( 11-Jul-2007 15:49:35 )

@ksampler: There is a MUCH easier way to Remote Control a desktop......LogMeIn (FREE)!

Hmmm, well that certainly makes my task easier! :)

I have a question... The LogMeIn.com site itself is pretty short on details around the difference between the Free and the Pro ($12.95/month) version. The cNet and PCMag reviews seem to say that the free version only gives you _control_ of the remote PC, and excludes file transfer/printing and sharing:

cNet:
http://reviews.cnet.com/e-mail/logmein/4505-3536_7-31394067.html

PCMag:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1683985,00.asp

Dunno how much of an issue that'd be in the scope that we're talking about here though.

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 11-Jul-2007 15:57:44 )

I'll definitely try that out - does LogMeIn have individual window access like WebVNC does?

I do prefer open-source software anyhow, since when I want a new feature, I can just code it up.

I have been able to get the program running on my computer and am able to connect to it just fine. The application list comes up but when I select something it pulls up a blank screen with no images. It might be an issue since I am using Windows Vista. Any ideas?

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 09:02:39 )

Dang, I thought it would be compatible with Vista at least. I suppose it's kind of pathetic to have a program only support Windows XP. If I had Vista I'd try and figure out what was wrong but for me it's the same situation as with MacOS - I simply can't develop for it because I don't have it.

Sucks to be me!

I get a C++ error when I run it on a Windows Server 2003 box - I had to download the MSVCR DLL from the link in the thread and ran the installer. Still, when I ran from iPhone, I got the "lego" piece on Safari and when I went to the server, the server had thrown a C++ error for something with an "A" Not Assembly but something like that - I had the error copied, but had to register on this board and all those steps lost the message.

I hope you can get that issue fixedbecause this looks way better than LogMeIn

Posted by amichalo 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 09:40:02 )

Just to clarify, the issue is on the SERVER side...the C++ error is thrown there. On the iPhone I just get the little safari "lego" piece where the image of the server desktop should be - as if it is waiting on a java applet or somethign to load (yes, iPhone does not have Java).

Posted by asktheadmin 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 09:46:29 )

I had no problem running it on a xp machine 2003 has a lot more security in place. Have you set security or is set as it was by default?

Hi Aaron,

I would suggest trying it again and posting the actual message. It's hard to diagnose without it.

Posted by jcavazos 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 12:31:42 )

I downloaded the binaries and downloaded the missing .dll and it installed correctly. I was able to log into my server, but nothing shows up, it's just gray. I am not able to see my desktop. If anyone could shed some light on this issue, it would be much appreciated :-).

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 12:57:28 )

J, I've had this problem when trying to install VNC over Terminal Services. Something about it needs it to be run directly from the monitor / console.

Posted by jcavazos 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 13:00:39 )

Do you have a workaround for this or point me in the right direction?

J

Posted by asktheadmin 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 13:02:07 )

were you logged in remotely during the install or were you in front of your terminal?

This comment was edited at 2007-07-22 20:23:37

I was logged in remotely during the install.

J

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:08:06 )

Yeah, that doesn't work.

Posted by jcavazos 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:12:26 )

Heh, heh, thanks....why doesn't it work :-)? Do I need to install while logged in, in front of my terminal? Thanks for all the help guys!

J

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:16:23 )

I think it has to do with the fact that Remote Desktop destroys the "monitor" object created for the terminal session when it ends, thus giving VNC nothing to grab pixels from. You can't mix Remote Desktop and VNC for some reason.

Posted by jcavazos 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:31:58 )

Thanks for all your help! I think you have to be logged in for VNC to work, right? I guess I could run VNC at startup?

J

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:36:51 )

Yeah, WebVNC would work best in the Startup folder for your user profile.

Posted by buster 1 year ago ( 14-Jul-2007 17:21:54 )

is it possible to have the music that's playing on your desktop to also play on your iphone?

Posted by natetrue 1 year ago ( 14-Jul-2007 19:01:25 )

From what I've learned, yes, it is possible (say, connecting your iPhone to something like a Shoutcast streaming server) but the Quicktime audio player would 'take over' Safari entirely, so remote control wouldn't be an option, unless you used e-mail or SMS as a control mechanism.

Either way you wouldn't be able to use WebVNC for it.

Posted by amichalo 1 year ago ( 16-Jul-2007 06:46:52 )

BIG ALL CAPS NOTE: Save yourself a lot of frustration with the "gray screen" and be sure to install the server side software fron a local console. INSTALLING FROM A REMOTE DESKTOP CONSOLE WILL RESULT IN "GRAY SCREEN"!!!

I keep getting a C++ Debug library error. I downloaded the binaries. Extracted the files and ran winvnc.exe. Got the missing dll error. Downloaded the file from location posted by ahhyeah. Ran the exe again. Connected to pc via iphone. Got very excited.....loving the app....still loving the app.....C++ Debug library error.

Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: WinVNC.exe

My options are then Abort;Retry;Ignore.

Any suggestions? This is repeated over and over. Each time I've ran the vnc the error eventually comes up.

Posted by asktheadmin 1 year ago ( 21-Jul-2007 12:22:52 )

@Mike... AskTheAdmin to the resuce.... I bet you ran the install remotely. Didja? If you did that is why you are having those issues you can not overwrite certain files while being remote desktoped in. I believe t has been mention a bunch of tims.

Are there any settings I should be changing to fix this?

Try setting your display to 32-bit color. WebVNC makes some assumptions about display configuration, sorry :)

Hey Natetrue,

When i type in my ip on safari, i get a while screen and a link noted at the bottom... also no password prompt. I tried to do:

http://ipaddress:5800/?pw=123456
but doesnt connect.

Can you please tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Posted by bdamed 1 year ago ( 18-Sep-2007 20:16:55 )

Hey I figured it out... those binary files, you need to download and extract into SAME folder....i.e. tightVNC folder. Then the rest should work.

I am very excited about desktop access from my iPhone. Down loaded your app and the missing dll, Terminated my existing VNC server and started your tightVNC server. Tried to access it from firefox but only get a blank screen, zero html. Tried the url password trick, but same result. Even installed it on a dell server here and same result. Hoping the "blank screen" is a common user goof up and you have a simple fix?

hi
i am absolutely a fan of it
i loves it
i love to use the ipod as a remote
i also looked in the .html and its amazing
is there any possibilty to use that code?
can we get in contact to modify it?
my first one is to set the refresh rate up, so it is more fast over wifi
but i havent understand the whole code
so it would be fine if we could sit together to make for example an Powepoint Remote or a Media Player Remote or such things
and sorry for my Bad English^^i am German

Posted by nambrot 51 weeks ago ( 10-Jan-2008 06:35:05 )

what i forgot to say
direct text input or such things would be also possible
so i am open for everything

Posted by nambrot 51 weeks ago ( 10-Jan-2008 16:50:25 )

here:
http://www.speedyshare.com/397346986.html
after spending more Time on the Code, i made some addition which i think can be very useful
First i modified it, that you can switch between different modes:
One Click Mode , so you can only Left-Click or Double Click, can be very useful when only selecting things, like playing Titan Poker now on the iPod
or the Standart On Screen Menue with more Power
One click is the starting mode, but you can change this easily
Then i made the refresh time input so you can change the time of Refreshing
you start with 3 secs. depending on your Connection
i recommend not going under 0.5 sec, then the iphone will be overloaded
another option is the direct text input without screen menue what isnt comfortable, but very useful when using media players with shortcuts or such things
To-Do:
Beeing more efficient and tidy up my worse code
USing Key like up down left right Page Up and Down for Powerpoint or such things, how can i sent TightVNC those keys?
and try to make program specific remotes, just like POwerPoint.
It would be nice if somebody would try it and comment it, espicially you Nate
hope it will be fun
damn, i love this project
really much thanks fot you nate

then i tried using the other method with the password in the address, and when i tried that, it said
"safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" with an ok button for me to click

stats: Vista laptop connected to net via wireless router and a jailbroken 8 GB ipod touch connected to internet via the same wifi network the laptop is on (i dont know if this makes a difference or not, but i still wanted to mention it just in case)

You can get Geovision to work on your iphine by using product pc2me.net (free) or pro version files2phones.com which accesses Geovision on your pc.

Hello. I am very interested in this project for use as an emergency tool for administering servers when I don't have a computer available to me. Unfortunately all of our servers are hosted by a 3rd party so physical access is not possible. Has anyone found a way to get this installed and functioning remotely?

Many thanks,
J

Here's a pretty easy setup for new iPhone 3G with mochaVNC Lite, DynDNS and leopard (can be easily used for Windows VNC apps too). http://www.sunshineofficial.com/revamp/articles/tech/mocha-vnc-lite-with-leopard-vnc-and-dyndns.html

I have a dual display setup. while I can see both of the screens (as one desktop) on a remote machine, I have a problem with the mouse clicks. The mouse clicks are about 1/2 of what they should be location wise in the X direction. Is there an easy fix to change this in a setup file? i.e. a 2x multipler for a variable? I tried manually setting the variables in the .html file to the net desktop width but it didn't work.

I am on Vista x64, and everything is displaying properly, menus and screens and the like- i.e. if I say show me outlook - that window is proper, and I see only that window (i.e. spacing and centering is working correctly)and that work regardless of which display the window resides on - BUT the mouse picks are off making it unusable ( mostly for the fact that the distance for which it is off by increases the further from the left edge you get making guessing the offset too tricky). Ie. Picks in the far edge of the right display land in the middle between the screens and anything else lands on the far right edge of the left screen thus:

I believe I am only getting 1/2 of the X distance due to the dual display.

Any ideas?

Wow! Excellent. Suggestion for people, disable the autohide for taskbar. Thanks.

Question....is there a "logout" necessary to free up the connection?

Guys, call me crazy, but let me know if there's any chance to find an Windows application which may do the following functionality:
- working on my PC, iPhone docked and connected to PC
- while someone rings me, to be able to move the mouse pointer out of my screen to iPhone's screen (like a second monitor), and answer, then put on speaker

Sorry for this strange idea... :)
