Windows XP has a built in firewall that may be blocking it. Have him try this.
start>run>services.msc>disable windows firewall / ICS
If that doesnt work let me know

Well Files being blocked on MSN is probably just the way he has his file transfer protocols setup for MSN. That can be fixed by going to the options and setting it to allow transfers of any file type.
As for installing SRO can you please tell me exactly what error he is getting.
