I believe this indicates a VNC server isn't running. In that past, I've
used a batch file with two commands, one to start the VNC server, then the
one you have above to send that VNC server the signal to connect to a
viewer.
If you read between the lines in the help, it does imply that a VNC server
must be running first:
-connect [<host[::port]>] - Connect an existing WinVNC server
to a listening viewer.
