Gotoassist immediately ends session

[Stephen Hunt]

On a couple of PC's I try to connect with, the "customer has left this session" happens immediately after GotoAssist connects. Anyone have an idea why this occurs?

we encounter this same issue on some of our PC's as well.

Have you talked to the client? They  may be declining your invitation.

Hi,

Can you provide some more information about the Client's computers, are these Attended sessions you are trying to start with the Client? Could you Client's be confused and declining the session as Felton suggests? Security software could also be a cause. 

[Stephen Hunt]

Well, I tried to make sure they were not declining. And this has only happened with a couple of my clients which is odd. These sessions I initiate from my end, and give them instruction via phone each step of the way. They are Windows 7 home, 64 bit pcs. However, the one thing I do recall is they were using google chrome to connect.....

[JVH]

definitely not an issue of user declining.   I'm actually trying to remotely connect to my computer in my office when I am on the road. 

[Stephen Hunt]

Hmmmm. JVH has unattended support set up. I am wondering, in my case, if the client had unattended set up by a prior tech at sometime. If they did, and then I come in after, could unattended setup prevent me from doing an attended session?

[Stephen Hunt]

Ok. Had to go to clients house because of the gotoassist issue. No gotoassist installed, but when I went to correct other issue, including installing a small program, I got a "Windows installer" not functioning message" ... Does go to assist use Windows installer or does it have its own installer?

[GlennD]

When we install our software we use the Windows Installer in the process. Our new standalone version may be a good way around this issue if it happens with another remote Client in the future. It does not install, so you could get them into session and then troubleshoot.

If I am trying to connect, is there a link to tell them to go to for the stand alone version?
