Tightvnc 2.7.10 viewer
Scott Honaker
Has anyone been able to successfully deploy the viewer portion of TightVNC? So far all my attempts meet with the following error:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
use source C:\Windows\AdminArsenal\PDQDeployRunner\service-1\exec\
only way to seem to get around this is to uninstall and reinstall directly from the msi.

Hi Scott,
Did you build the TightVNC package or are you using the version from the Package Library. The package library package doesn't install the Viewer just the Server portion. Our thought was that most admins would only want to install the server portion across their network and then they would install the Viewer on the one or two machines that needed it.
If you built your own viewer package what command line arguments did you use?
I am using the package from the library.
The parameters i am currently using is:
ADDLOCAL="Server,Viewer" SERVER_REGISTER_AS_SERVICE=1 SERVER_ADD_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION=1 SERVER_ALLOW_SAS=1 SET_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_PASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_PASSWORD=helpdesk
everything else in the package is vanilla from the library.
The parameter you are using contradict the Viewer only installation requested.
Crea your own package. Add both installers, specify which goes for which platform (x86, x64) and use the switches:
/quiet /norestart ADDLOCAL=Viewer
This will install the viewer only. For more attributes check the TightVNC documentation at http://www.tightvnc.com/doc/win/TightVNC_2.7_for_Windows_Installing_from_MSI_Packages.pdf
Selfman, Your suggestion worked. Thanks!
You are welcome.
