Unfortunately, winblows is often forced upon me. I don't like it, so using tunnilier + this truly protable VNC.

Recently, a new version of TightVNC was released, and a portable version of it for U3 flash drives appeared.

That’s great, but what if you don’t have a U3 flash drive, or you don’t like the U3 system in general (that’s me), or you don’t want to use it on a flash drive at all?

Well, here is how you extract the program itself from the .u3p package for a regular use:

1. Download it here.

2. Use WinRAR or similar to extract the host folder from that file, which is in fact a zip archive.

3. Use the following command line parameters to use a local ini file instead of the registry for storing your settings:

winvnc.exe -runwithinifile .\winvnc.ini

vncviewer.exe -settingsfile .\vncviewer.ini

Now you can enjoy the portable version of TightVNC without a U3 drive.

But you must agree, that it’s not really handy to use a command line every time you want to run TightVNC. Well, I’ve patched winvnc.exe and vncviewer.exe and made them use an ini file by default. These are attached on that topic.

Finally I want to advice you to make a donation to support the project.
