It actually copies the installs the vnc program to the client (through the
C$ share, that's why the re-mapped drives don't work) and starts the
service.  We've been using VNC for years with a front end program I wrote
that scans the network for devices and lists them by machine name / username
/ ip address.  Quite Cool.  AND FREE!!!
 
Also, when you disconnect, it appears to remove the service and clean itself
up.  Very nice, but if you are going to be connecting again, its faster just
to leave the service on there running with a password.

How does this work without any client side application?

Alright this is an absolutely AWESOME (and a bit scary) utility written in
TightVNC. It allows you to remote control ANY PC on your network that you
have admin privileges to with NO client necessary and it is my favorite
price FREE under GPL:
