RealVNC and unattended install

[Rich Marsh]

*I posted this yesterday, but never saw the message delivered to my 
inbox, if you have already received it, please accept my apologies.


I took a shot at the unattended mailing list and came up empty so I 
thought I'd try my chances here.  I have a test box running Debian 
woody, kernel 2.4.27-2-686,  it is successfully booting using the 
unattend (ver. 4.6) http://unattended.sourceforge.net/index.php with a 
linux boot disk.  I am about 90-95% where we would like this machine to 
be (with successful apps installed) but have hit a snag with real VNC.

It installs the app. and it functions but when I attempt to control the 
client remotely,  I receive the following error, "server license key is 
missing, invalid or has expired do you wish..."  I have a vaild key for 
it, but it is not entered during the install, since we are running 
silent. When I ran the app locally there is a prompt for a registration 
code, so I know that I need to somehow incorporate the key into the 
realvnc.bat.  I searched google and mail-archive.com and only found this 
link 
http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02000.html  
which mentions an approach we do not want.

Our box will be in a remote location, and their are no techies 
(whatsoever) on hand.  I  want a branch manager (or equivalent) to stick 
a disc in the machine and in an hour or so, have a fully functioning 
machine, which loads all the programs we need it to.  I checked real 
VNC's documentation and also came up empty.  The current configuration 
of the real VNC script is posted below:

For anyone familiar with the unattended approach, below is a snippet of 
the bat file that is called by the perl script that controls the entire 
install.
:: OPTIONAL: Install RealVNC
todo.pl "%Z%\packages\realvnc\vnc-E4_0-x86_win32.exe /sp- /verysilent"

Again sorry for the off topic post, but I didn't know where else to 
turn.  Thanks.
