I've found that the MSRC4 DSM packaged with UltraVNC 1.0.1 complains 
that "The plugin cannot be loaded. Please check its integrity." unless 
the current user has write access to the UltraVNC directory. Giving all 
users write access to the UltraVNC directory resolves this issue, but is 
not something that seems like a wise or sustainable fix.

The issue can be reproduced by running as an unprivileged ("limited" -- 
sorry, I'm accustomed to UNIX parlance) user, starting the VNC viewer, 
entering the new connection menu, selecting the DSM and clicking the 
"Config" button.

Any chance of this being fixed such that unprivileged users can use 
UltraVNC with this DSM in place without being given write access to the 
UltraVNC directory? I'm not a Windows developer, so I'm not really 
equipt to resolve it myself.

Thanks!
