[AG-TECH] Announcement: Shared Desktop v0.1b

[Todd Zimmerman]

Hi Natalia,

SharedDesktop uses the 'Program Files' directory only as a first 'best 
guess' for the location of winvnc4.exe.  It then also checks on the user's 
PATH.  So the solution is to add the path to winvnc4.exe to your PATH 
enviornment variable.

In windows, this can be done within Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Tab 
-> Environment Variables.  Just add "c:\Archivos de programa\Realvnc\vnc4\" 
(or whatever it is ;-)) to your PATH variable and it should work.

If you run into any more issues, feel free to email me directly and I'm 
sure we can get it working.

Todd
