Installing VNC as a service on w98

[Ricardo Draper]

Hi all,
	I'm working from memory here, so I can't check my comments. I think it is possible to run, but not in true "service" mode like you can in Win2000 of XP.  You can add a line in the Run= portion of  the Win.ini file.  This file gets run before anything in the Startup folder is run, even before a login is executed.  The Startup folder contents are run after a login hence, you have your problem below.  I'll check this this evening and confirm (its' noon time here) but Im pretty sure you should be able to add:

	run=c:\pathname-to-winvnc.exe\winvnc.exe

	- Ricardo Draper

This is true. VNC will not fire-up in Win98 until someone logs on to the computer.

I did have is in the start up and got the same effect....

it runs , but only after you sign in on thoes machines.

The guys in the mainframe computer room , can't come over here to this building and sign these computers on. They need to be able to reboot from there and have it come back up. And be able to sign on.

it won't do that either way I try it.

It should run when you install it as a service.
However, one quick-fix for your problem is to put a shortcut of the VNC (App Mode)in your start-up folder.

I have installed VNC as a service on a Windows 98 box.
However , it still will not fire up until AFTER someone logs on to the machine.

I need for someone to be able to remotely re-boot the machine and be able to get back on after ot so finished.
