i think the reg is disabling the viewer.

i'm not sure, do it with 2.0.2 to be sure.

so delete the last line it's not related to VNC functionality.

yep, that did the trick for me. 4 files total in the network share- setup (exe format) + 2 reg files (32+64) and the batch (script) file. Good luck.

32- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TightVNC 64- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TightVNC hope this helps, Danny.

my solution is intended for mixed (32\64) environment. works great.

found the problem, i exported 32bit OS reg file that worked only with 32bit OS's because the tightVNC reg is in a different location in 32\64 OS's. so i exported a 64bit ver as well and got 2 vers of the reg file. then just added another IF in original script. script included: if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\TightVNC" goto :eof ELSE if exist "C:\Program Files\TightVNC" goto :eof ELSE "\\beta\TVNC\tightvnc-2.0.2-setup.exe" /S if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\" goto :X64 ELSE regedit /S "\\beta\TVNC\32bit.reg goto :finish :X64 regedit /S "\\beta\TVNC\64bit.reg" goto :finish :finish net stop "TightVNC Server" net start "TightVNC Server" rmdir /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\TightVNC\"

yeah, i ran the setup from a shared folder (on a server) onto the first PC, in the setup i configured the password. after installation this PC was great but the reg file i exported didn't do the trick to other pc getting the gpo. for some reason the viewer gets installed too even though i wanted just the server. very annoying..

same as the thread author, tightvnc-2.0.2 i even checked and the registry in all pc's got changed (i see passwords set) but when i open the icon no passwords are set and i can't connect to none of these pcs. Thanks, Danny.
