Hello,

I have a Corporate license for TeamViewer 9 and I use WAPT for centralized management of my configurations.

I'm encountering a problem: I can't link the computer to the TeamViewer without user intervention. During installation, there's no issue; I can see the PC linked to my company account. However, upon restarting the machine, TeamViewer asks me for a password to install unattended access.

I created a package using an MSI file that is already customized (it automatically links to my account).

Have you ever encountered this problem? If so, how did you work around it?

Another question: by right-clicking on computers in the inventory, you can connect via VNC or RDP. Is it possible to add entries to this context menu?connectivity, Teamviewer for example, and then we have a console that centralizes everything!)

Thank you for your help and congratulations to the developers and contributors who are leading this project.

I don't know TeamViewer I'm having trouble understanding your problem, but you should ask them about the procedure for a silent installation.

How is this MSI created? It's an official procedure of TeamViewer ?

(You know what I'm going with, right? Add "Connect via TeamViewer," for example, and then we'd have a console that centralizes everything!)

The Wapt source code is available on GitHub here: https://github.com/tranquilit/WAPT

By following the procedure in README.md you can modify the console by opening the waptconsole.lpr file with codetyphon

In the uwaptconsole.pas file you can replace

ShellExecute(0, '', PAnsiChar('C:\Program Files\TightVNC\tvnviewer.exe'),
PAnsichar(ip), nil, SW_SHOW)

Because you want

I managed to add a power button the other day using this method

Hello,
I'm facing the same problem; I can't seem to do it silently. A pop-up keeps appearing asking for permission.
I'll be following your thread closely

Thanks Simon for the information.
I'm currently retrieving the sources. I'll look into it.

OK, nothing's stopping you from continuing the investigation, right?

Are you also on V9? Are you talking about deployment via Wapt or via the classic MSI+GPO?

I'll get back to you as soon as I've looked into it a bit more.

Absolutely, we're still looking into it, but it's no longer our priority.
We install TeamViewer when we deploy an image to a machine. But we have to be physically present at the machine; it displays a pop-up asking us to authorize it.
Group Policy Objects (GPOs) aren't possible.

Regarding your password problem, you'll need to generate a .reg and a .msi file, like I did, but you'll be stuck in the same place...

Back after some tests and investigations.
The silent installation of TeamViewer It works. The link to my account is working perfectly without any pop-ups.

For those interested, this requires adding the following key to the registry in addition to the information exported from the host client

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer\Version9\DefaultSettings]
"HostInfoDialog"=dword:00000000

However, being a beginner in Python, I can't seem to get a custom setup working...
I followed the documentation but I encountered several problems/error messages when opening the files
c:\tranquilit\wapt\waptconsole\waptconsole.lpr
And
c:\tranquilit\wapt\waptserver\postconf\waptserverpostconf.lpr

I chose to ignore the changes suggested by Simon (replacing VNC with the path to my executable) TeamViewer) and launched the compilation. After the whole procedure, I managed to generate an executable with innosetup; the installation went smoothly, but when I launch the console, I get an error:

Thank you for your help.

Hi for the TSOGRID

The documentation states:

Launch CodeTyphon
. Open a package file (.lpk).

Open the following packages successively and compile them:
pltis_sogrid.lpk (IDE installation required).

Did you open the package?

Otherwise, for the reference error, try right-clicking on your WaptConsole, then selecting Properties, and in Compatibility, check "Run as administrator".

Okay, it works, I can successfully launch the recompiled console.
However, my TeamViewer It's not working the way I want it to...

To initiate the connection via the command line, simply pass the argument -i %computername% or -i %ip%

Here is the modified code from uwaptconsole.pas

Code: Select all

procedure TVisWaptGUI.ActVNCExecute(Sender: TObject);
var
  ip: ansistring;
begin
  if (Gridhosts.FocusedRow <> nil) and
    (Gridhosts.FocusedRow.S['host.connected_ips'] <> '') then
  begin
    ip := GetReachableIP(Gridhosts.FocusedRow['host.connected_ips'],5900);
    if ip<>'' then
      ShellExecute(0, '', PAnsiChar('c:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Version9\TeamViewer.exe -i'),
        PAnsichar(ip), nil, SW_SHOW)
    else
      ShowMessage(rsNoReachableIP);
  end;
end;

procedure TVisWaptGUI.ActVNCUpdate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  try
    ActVNC.Enabled := (Gridhosts.FocusedRow <> nil) and
      (Gridhosts.FocusedRow.S['host.connected_ips'] <> '') and
      FileExists('c:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\Version9\TeamViewer.exe -i');
  except
    ActVNC.Enabled := False;
  end;
end;

But I imagine the argument isn't in the right place since nothing happens (the menu is greyed out) if I don't add the -i option to my console TeamViewer It opens correctly, though.

Subsidiary question, to replace VNC with TeamViewer In the context menu, simply replace all VNC entries in this file with TeamViewer ?

I'm not very familiar with Free Pascal; I only recently discovered it while playing around with Wapt when I wanted to add my shutdown functionality. I'm just feeling my way through it

A quick internet search revealed:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Executing_Ex...nd_WinExec
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/ind ... ic=25392.0

The guy on the forum does it like this:

MyProcess.Executable := 'D:\SomeDir\abc.exe';
MyProcess.Parameters.Add('D:\SomeDir\Data\ritem.dat');
MyProcess.Execute;

If that helps...

Rename directly using the CodeTypo interface

It works!

Here is the modified code:

Code: Select all

    ip := GetReachableIP(Gridhosts.FocusedRow['host.connected_ips'],5938);
    if ip<>'' then
    ShellExecute(0, '', PAnsiChar('c:\Program Files (x86)\Teamviewer\Version9\Teamviewer.exe'),
        PAnsichar('-i' + ip), nil, SW_SHOW)

However, I am unable to rename the menus... I have an error when starting the recompiled console, it is still looking for an actvnc (which I renamed to actteamviewer).
I renamed everyone who was in uwaptconsole.pas, surely there are references elsewhere?

I didn't understand your advice:

Where in the console are you doing this?

Thanks for your advice, Simon, I've made great progress!
