InstaTech has been discontinued. Please see the new project, Remotely, at https://github.com/jay-rad/remotely.

A screen sharing client (WPF and cross-platform) that runs on its accompanying ASP.NET server.

WPF Client + Windows Service (/InstaTech_Client/)

Compatibility: Windows 7, 8, and 10.

The WPF version is a small, portable EXE for Windows. It contains the Windows Service and can be used from the command line in the same way.

Switches

• -install = Installs (or updates) the service and begins accepting connections.
• -uninstall = Uninstalls the service.

Windows Service Client (/InstaTech_Service/)

Compatibility: Windows 7, 8, and 10.

A self-installing Windows service that will listen for connections and launch the client in the logged-on user's session. This is embedded in the WPF client.

Switches

• -install = Installs (or updates) the service and begins accepting connections.
• -uninstall = Uninstalls the service.

Cross-Platform Client (/InstaTech_CP/)

Compatibility: Windows, Linux, and Mac.

The cross-platform version is larger than the WPF and uses an installer. However, it works on all versions of Windows, Linux, and Mac. It's built with Electron (http://electron.atom.io).

InstaTech Server

Compatibility: Windows 8/10 Pro or Enterprise, Windows Server 2012+.

Repo: https://github.com/Jay-Rad/InstaTech_Server

Remote Control

The WPF client and cross-platform client, when launched, will generate a random session code. Enter that code into the web-based remote control to view the remote computer and/or take control.

Computers that have the Windows service will show up in the Unattended mode and the Computer Hub of the InstaTech Server.

Building

To customize the clients, change the hostname properties prior to building. Check the comments in /InstaTech_Client/MainWindow.xaml.cs, /InstaTech_Service/Socket.cs, and /InstaTech_CP/app/main.js.
