How To Force VB 6 App to Run On Server 1

I've written a very small exe in VB 6 that opens a Crystal Report, exports the report to .pdf format and then saves it to a disk file. This executable is intended to be launched, run and closed from within another program, so in the production environment the only "user" of the executable will be this other program. Because users of that other program will all be using different PCs with different client configurations in different locations, it's very important that all the required code and supporting DLLs reside on, and run from, the server---there is no client-side code.

When I run the program it keeps looking for export and other DLLs on the local drive of the machine from which I'm launching the exe. How can I force the program to run as a self-contained, server-side executable and to ONLY look on the server's local drive for all its supporting DLLs? Thanks in advance for any help.
