[AG-TECH] win32 + correct vnc program

[Terry.Rankine at csiro.au]

Hu

Using real vnc 4 - I get the following error:

"The option -passwd was not recognised. Use -help to see VNC viewer
usage"

Any extra help you can offer would be great.

AG 2.4 came with TightVNC 1.2.9 and that version seems to work with the
AG 
3.0.2 VenueVNC client. Just copy vncviewer.exe into the same folder as 
VenueVNCClient.py (or maybe add it to the PATH), then VenueVNC client
should 
work.

If you are talking about VenueVNC server, looking at the source code for

VenueVNCServer.py, it seems to fallback to:
 C:\Program Files\realvnc\vnc4\winvnc4.exe
