RealVNC and TightVNC: “Connection closed unexpectedly”




When connecting to a VNC Server (applies to both RealVNC and TightVNC), the VNC client (applies to both RealVNC and TightVNC) is unable to connect, and shows this message,  “Connection closed unexpectedly”.

The followings settings are properly configured and they are not the issues:-

  • VNC server and client is allowed by firewall; and
  • VNC port is correct;
  • VNC password is correct.

However, the log file of TightVNC server shows:-

[ 2132/ 4332] 2016-06-15 13:23:30 ! write() function stopped because transport has not been initialized yet.
[ 2132/ 4332] 2016-06-15 13:23:32 ! AnonymousPipe::read() failed (m_hRead = 000000000000030C)
[ 2132/ 4332] 2016-06-15 13:23:32 ! The Pipe's read function failed after ReadFile calling (The pipe has been ended. (109))
[ 2132/ 4332] 2016-06-15 13:23:32 ! Exception during DesktopClientImpl creaion: 
[ 2132/ 4332] 2016-06-15 13:23:32 ! Error during RFB initialization: 
[ 2132/ 4332] 2016-06-15 13:23:32 ! Connection will be closed: 
[ 4500/ 4420] 2016-06-15 13:23:42 ! Desktop server application failed with error: The desktop server time out expired

The root caused is “RFB” on the VNC server.

Solution:-

  • uninstalll “DisplayLink” driver from server and VNC client is able to connect to VNC server;
  • uninstall any display driver that is incompatible with VNC server.

 

Another reason for “Connection closed unexpectedly” is that RealVNC version 4.x does not work in Windows 7. For Windows 7, it requires Real VNC version 5 and above.

How to Solve — Run-time error 429: ActiveX component can’t create object




This error will appear if you copy the “dll” file from your development PC over to your production PC without running the “setup.exe” file on the production PC.

Solution:-

  1. Re-install by running the “setup.exe” again;
  2. If re-installation fails, then:-
    • click “Start” → Run → type “regsvr32 mobiteksmsapi7.dll”
    • it will manually register the ActiveX component — “MobitekSMSAPI7.dll”
  3. If your OS is Windows 7 64-bit and above, then follow these steps:-

Step 1: Click Start and type command or cmd in the search box. It will depend on what Windows version you have. We will use Windows 8.1 x64 bit for this example.

ActiveX-01

Step 2: A command prompt will appear. Navigate the command prompt to C:\Windows\SysWOW64

ActiveX-02

Step 3: Type “regsvr32 [path of dl]” at the command prompt. In this case, I will use MobitekSMSAPI7.dll file, so the command will be:
C:\Windows\SysWow64\regsvr32 “MobitekSMSAPI7.dll”
Press enter to execute.

ActiveX-03

Step 4: A dialog box will pop out, indicating that the dll file is successfully registered into your system.

ActiveX-04
