Using TakeControl Viewer on a Team TakeControl host?

At the moment it is not possible to use the TakeControl Viewer on the same computer that has the TakeControl Host service installed. This is a problem if the actual partners performing the remote support sessions have the Advanced Monitoring Agent installed on their own workstations.

The only workaround I have found so far is as follows:

1. Download TeamViewer Portable (http://www.teamviewer.com/download/version_5x/TeamViewerPortable.zip) and extract to a folder on your computer.
   
2. Make a file association between TVC files and the TeamViewer Portable executable as seen below.

3. Before trying to establish a connection by running a TVC file from Internet Explorer (Clicking TakeControl in GFI MAX RM):
   
                   a) Exist TeamViewer from the Taskbar.
                   b) Stop the TeamViewer services from the services control panel.

If anyone has found a better way to do this, let me know!
