Automated installation of VNC

[Carroll, Patrick S]

I've been using SMS Installer from Microsoft to automate the installation of
VNC at our site.  It has been much easier to use SMS Installer (or you could
use Install Shield or some other install package) to customize the
installation at our site for various installation types like "laboratory
computer" vs. "desktop computer", etc.
