We've checked this configuration, it worked well with "test-ps" and port 5901.

The problem can be in the name of the host. At the moment, unicode in the
host name isn't supported and some special characters are filtered.

Thanks,

The same error happened to me. I provided valid host/port but I get the error.

My vnc file is:

[connection]
host=192.168.1.100
port=5900
[options]
use_encoding_1=1
copyrect=1
viewonly=0
fullscreen=0
8bit=0
shared=1
belldeiconify=0
disableclipboard=0
swapmouse=0
fitwindow=0
cursorshape=1
noremotecursor=0
preferred_encoding=7
compresslevel=-1
quality=6
localcursor=1
scale_den=1
scale_num=1
local_cursor_shape=1

If I change the IP for the hosntname, it will return the same error too

I found out the answer, try to update the register as follow:

make a .reg file by a text tool, content are :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\tvnviewer.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"The\\Path\\Where\\Your\\tvnviewer.exe\\is" -optionsfile=\"%1\""

then import this reg file into windows register and it will be ok again.
