No, but you probably need to configure the Windows firewall manually to allow 
inbound connections on port 5900, or to allow connections to winvnc.exe.  If 
you grab UltraVNC 1.0.8.0 from http://www.uvnc.com/ it will do that for you, 
but the version that is "shipping" from SourceForge right now appears to be 
much older, 1.0.5, and it doesn't reconfigure the Windows firewall for you.
