Hello Jeff,
Thank you for the kind words.
I am unable to get _any email_ thru any pkg build, MSI or one-time (exe).
Do you use Gmail or a similar service as your SMTP? Note, that for security reasons Gmail may limit the usage of their SMTP by third-party apps unless you explicitly allow such usage. See more information in
this document. Other services may have similar limitations.
Besides, if you have 2-factor-authentication enabled for your email account you'll need to create an "app password" in order to circumvent 2FA and enable your build to use your SMTP server for sending emails.
Additionally, I am unable to get a connection thru pasting code directly from a Host on which a viewer is installed, thinking I could sync the address book (already checked the viewer on the same Host!).
I am sorry, may I ask that you clarify this paragraph? You installed Viewer and Host on the same computer, correct?
Note, that in order to sync your address book automatically (full-fledged synchronization) among multiple Viewers you will need to install our
self-hosted server and set up the
address book sync role.
The latter part of above was in attempts to use a temporary work-around by pasting code, but that also is futile as the msg reads: code is incorrect or applying code fr om a different viewer (however both ARE on the same workstation).
Please, refer to this knowledge base article
https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/the-code-you-entered-is-incorrect-error/ .
After install (running the built package), and accessing settings for the Host, there is not a password set (>Security >Authorization >Single Password);
We couldn't reproduce the issue. With the "Automatically generate Host password" checkbox enabled in step 3 of the configuration process and when accessing the settings for the Host afterwards, the checkbox "Single password" is set.
When configuring your installer, try enabling some other Host options (I mean options in the Host configuration window rather than those in the configurator wizard) and then see if they apply. Please, let us know the result.
