These files need to be accessible to every computer you’ll be installing UltraVNC to. Since you’ve already got everything necessary to perform the install locally, you’ll now need to figure out first where you’re going to store the setup.exe file and the INF file. This is unacceptable! Let’s automate all of this with a PowerShell function. As is, you have to manually copy the setup.exe file and the INF file to any computer you’d like to remotely install this on. However, we have no way to do this to remote computers. We now have the ability to silently install this software on a machine. When executed, this syntax will silently install UltraVNC with all of the same answers I initially provided manually saved in the INF file. Setup.exe /verysilent /loadinf="C:\silentinstall.inf" Instead of simply launching the installer, you’ll use the /savinf which and provide the location of the INF file as shown below. You create this INF file by performing a typical install of UltraVNC on a single machine.
The INF file is like an answer file providing all of the installation information the UltraVNC server needs. To silently install UltraVNC server on a Windows machine, you’ll first need to create an INF file. Depending on the software, this might be an easy or incredibly frustrating experience. Finding UltraVNC Silent Install Switchesīefore we get too far, we’ll first need to figure out the switches required to make the install silent. It’s much better to automate this process and remotely install the UltraVNC server remotely with no user interaction at all! We can build a PowerShell script to do just that that allows you to remotely install UltraVNC server to as many computers as you need.
At that point, you might have talked the user through installing the UltraVNC server from a file share somewhere on the network.
If you’re a desktop administrator, there may have been a time in your career where you needed to connect to an UltraVNC server running on a user’s desktop to find that it was not installed. In this post, we’re going to cover how to silently install UltraVNC, a flavor of VNC, on Windows. It’s free and comes in many different flavors that administrators can pick from. VNC is one of the most popular remote desktop control products out there.
