Save yourself a lot of hassle and use TeamViewer.
It's free for personal use.

The helper downloads and installs the full version - marked on the website as ' Start Full Version -It's Free! '
The user downloads the client exe - marked on the website as ' Join a Session '.
The client exe does not install any files, it is just run from the Desktop.
