Yes thanks. I have visited those UVNC pages several times. The UVNC
author or authors seem to be non-English (as I am too). We have constant
problem understanding the imperfect English sentences and language used
on those pages and in the documentation. Also the whole logic and
organization on pages is quite messy.

Of course UVNC is free. So one should not complain too loud, at least
not on their own newsgroupsSmile

On last visit month or so backward I was able to use the compile service
there is, and I got the readily compiled Single Click (SC) executable
back.

That executable worked. But it did not run completely as stand alone, it
compalained about some missing DLLs or something. I later found them
belonging to the full UVNC distribution package.

It may be we have understand some part wrong, with SC package compiling
or something. But as I said, by reading those non-native English pages
we are not able to find the answer.

My current thought is that we ourselves maybe should make our own SC
installation routine that would install also those DLLs. That would need
more studying (and time ) by our selfFrown
This is the part why we have not got UVNC to install _reliably_.

Well at least I call these Vista settings "tricks" while I ws not able
to find solution for instance to that annoying, repeating UAC querying
problem myself. Someone mentioned it in some Windows Tips newsgroup.

I have routinely turned XP firewalls off everywhere, while that seem not
to be any real firewall at all.

In this test the Windows Firewall XP SP2 is like Swiss cheese. It was
the weakest firewall of all those tested firewalls.

If someone can deny that these firewall test results are not valid, I am
more than interested to read more about it.

I turned Vista firewall Off also, and installed the free Zonealarm
instead. But is there still some extra checkbox to check that the Vista
firewall service will die totally ?

Yet currently I have no interest in spending much time tuning with
Vista. My Vista is slow, but I just run the mandatory compatibility
tests on it, and that is all.
