No Connection To Teamviewer Server

Can the free/personal mode of Teamviewer be installed and run on Windows Server operating systems?

I am planning on providing some remote service to an office in a different town. They have one server and 3 workstations. I think the server is either Windows Server or Windows SBS.

On Mac OS you can use force-quit to close the application if doing a higher level quit command does not work. Note that when running version 12 server-target with a version 13 client (this is in Mac OS), you may have to use force-quit on the server side to reset the connection for later v13 connection by a TeamViewer client. Teamviewer connection problems Teamviewer is the popular choice for remote access software right now, with many home and businesses depending on it running smoothly at all times to help manage day. Retrieve that file. If you've forgotten to transfer a file from your desktop, close the windows that control your other PC, then look under 'Control remote computer' in the TeamViewer display. Select 'File transfer Connect Log on'. Navigate to your file and select it. Click 'Retrieve' and it will be transferred to your laptop's My Documents folder.

Use Ninite. It is an automated install program that lets you select groups of programs and have them unattended install on your machine. Teamviewer 8 is one of the options, so go to the website click on the teamviewer 8's checkbox, scroll down to the bottom and press get installer. You will then be brought to the download page and it will download a few hundred kb file. That is the automated install script which will download teamviewer 8 and automatically install it without doing the OS system check. I tested this on my OWN Windows Server 2008 R2 server and it works as of 1/13/2013.

Hope this helps.

The workaround is to right click the setup file and go to compatibility and select Windows XP compatibility mode.

Once installed the program will run in regular mode.

Setting up compatibility mode to Windows 98 / Windows Me, it worked for me. I installed Team Viewer for personal use in Windows Server 2012.

Install TeamViewer 7.0.12979.exe then update to TV8.Don't forget to run as WinXP compatibility when install.Hope this will help.

I found that the free version of TV8 works fine on server 2003, despite the non-commercial option being greyed out. I did choose personal use on the TV website (which is true, I have a small home network and got Server 2003 through MSAA) when selecting the download though, not sure if that had anything to do with it.

You can't install the free version on any Windows Server version.The installer will start, but when you have to select the usage, everything except 'Company / Commercial Use' is greyed out.

I still haven't found a proper way around this apart from unpacking the files in the temp directory and running it that way, but half of the functions don't work, basically rendering it useless.

Looks like I'm stuck with RDP or the exploit-happy VNC variants :(

As TeamViewer Support Center states:

So it can be installed and run on Windows Server.
