Question About Accessing RealVNC From Remote Computer

.

There have been a couple of places where I have been unable to access VNC,
apparently for two reasons. I have the server running from home and can access
it without problems from my notebook, but sometimes have problems accessing it
from other computers. I am using Windows computers. Apparent reasons why I have
trouble accessing it (two)

1) The web browser on the computer I am using is not Java enabled.

2) The computer I am using (it belongs to someone else, usually a business) will
not allow installation of applications, specifically the VNC client.

As best I can tell, when installing the VNC client on someone else's computer,
it tries to place its default values in the Registery (Windows computers) and
this attempted modification of the registery appears to be what prevents VNC
from installing on the computer. I do not have administrator privileges. It
appears, although I am not sure, that if VNC could be run without use of the
registery, i.e., storing the default values in a separate file, VNC could be
stored on the C drive of those computers and run directly from them without
trouble.

Is this analysis correct or is it flawed?

Does anybody know how to run VNC (or a similar program) from a web browser that
is NOT Java enabled? Or to run VNC without installing it (and apparently
attempting to modify the registery) on the Windows computer?

Thanks.

Dean,

You don't need to install VNC Viewer - you can just run the binary
stand-alone.

Thanks.

From the same place you downloaded the installable version...
www.realvnc.com. There's a link there to get *just* the stand-alone viewer.
