Windows version

Installer:
[exe] (size unknown)
Self-installing package of TightVNC 1.2.6 Win32 version.
Binaries:
[zip] (size unknown)
ZIP archive containing complete set of executables (server and viewer parts) for TightVNC 1.2.6 Win32 version.
Viewer binary:
[zip] (size unknown)
ZIP archive containing vncviewer.exe binary for TightVNC 1.2.6 Win32 version. The viewer does not require installation and is ready to use.
Source code:
[tar+bzip2] (379,878 bytes)
[zip] (610,487 bytes)
Compressed archives containing full source code for TightVNC 1.2.6 Win32 version (without third-party libraries, see notes in the documentation and in the BUILDING.txt file included in the source archives). Both tar+bzip2-compressed and zip-compressed archives available. The contents is the same but bzip2-compressed archive is smaller size and faster download, grab it if you have Unix-compatible tar and bzip2 tools installed.


Unix version

Source code:
[tar+bzip2] (1,717,851 bytes)
[tar+gzip] (2,127,717 bytes)
Compressed tar archive containing full TightVNC 1.2.6 source, without required zlib and JPEG libraries. You can download either bzip2-compressed or gzip-compressed tar archive. The contents is the same but bzip2-compressed archive is smaller size and faster download.
RedHat 7.x RPM packages:
[viewer, i386] (83,798 bytes)
[server, i386] (724,279 bytes)
[source RPM] (1,726,571 bytes)
RPM packages of TightVNC 1.2.6 for Linux Red Hat 7.x and compatible systems. If your system is RPM-based RedHat-like Linux OS but is not binary-compatible with RedHat 7.x, you probably have to rebuild packages from the source RPM. Note: there is known incompatibility between certain Linux distributions (to be correct, certain gcc/egcs packages) and Imake stuff included in VNC / TightVNC source archives and it's possible that re-building source RPM would fail on such systems (to mention one, Mandrake 7.2 seems to be such distribution).
Binaries for various Unix systems:
