If the exploit was written as a module for the Metasploit Framework, just 
select the VNC in-memory DLL injection payload and call it done.  This 
payload has the following advantages:

 - No files are written to disk, the AV has no chance of catching it
 - The VNC server is a thread in the exploited app's process
 - The payload works in read-only mode if admin privs aren't obtained
 - It will use the WinLogon desktop if locked or nobody is logged in
 - A command prompt is provided with the privs of the exploited process
 - If the exploit causes the app to exit on crash, no traces are left
