Ever wanted to remotely assist someone with their problem only to find out that the remote help program isn't installed on the remote user's computer. Here's a simple solution for that problem. I call it instant VNC session. A script installs the VNC service onto the remote computer and 'instantly' opens a VNC session to it. This can be handy when Remote Assistance or any other remote help software hasn't been installed on the remote computer, or when the installed program just doesn't work. The beautiful thing with this instant VNC script is that upon disconnect it will clean up after itself. No service or files will be left on the target computer. Obviously you will need to have admin privileges to the remote computer for this to work! (Otherwise it would be an evil H4x0R backdoor thingie...)


Oh, and the password for the VNC session is "secret" (without the quotes). You can (and probably should) change it by editing the instantVNC.vbs script.

How to use:

1) Download this file.
2) Extract the content of the file to any desired folder on your PC.
3) Run the RUNME.BAT file

The script will ask for some details, such as the name or IP address of the computer you wish to remotely control. After this it will install the VNC service onto the target computer and launch the VNC client that will allow you to view and control the remote computer. This should work on Windows XP. Haven't tested in Vista, but probably won't work there.
