Remote Install of RealVNC
I'm a little pleased with myself right now! Ever wanted to take control of a remote computer, and the user at the other end is in desperate need of help? Well thanks to this page I managed to write a small batch file that would install RealVNC together with a password and start the service allowing you to use the RealVNC viewer on that remote computer.
The link above talks about version 3.37 of RealVNC - at the time of writing, RealVNC is on version 4.13 - the main differences to the above link is the directory structure.
Here's the batch file that I created - created form the link above and modified to the 4.13 version of RealVNC.
<begin batch file>
REM Connect to IPC share
NET USE \\%1\IPC$ /user:administrator
REM Copy VNC Software
xcopy "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\*.*" "\\%1\C$\Program Files\RealVNC\*.*" /r/i/c/h/k/e
REM Copy registry settings
regedit /e "\\%1\C$\vncdmp.txt" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\RealVNC"
REM - Install registry remotely
psexec \\%1 -s -i -d %windir%\regedit /s C:\vncdmp.txt
REM install the remote service
psexec \\%1 -s -i -d "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe" -register
REM start the service
psexec \\%1 -s -i -d net start "VNC Server Version 4"
<end batch file>
You will notice the %1 variable - this is to allow you to specify and IP address or computer name at the command prompt. For example - if you saved your batch file as installvnc.bat and you want to install the software on a computer with the IP address of 192.168.0.20 - at the command prompt enter:
installvnc 192.168.0.20
You will also see from the batch file that it logs in as administrator on the remote computer - you must be able to supply the password for this account otherwise it will not work!
Here are the links for all this to work:
