Normally after creating a package with the 'Package and Deployment Wizard' I perform the installation on the PCs that will be using the application.

Rather than installing the package on each PC can I install the package on a server and have the PCs execute from the server?

Thanks for your help.
 
You can put the .exe and any .dll files on the server, but the .dll files will still have to be registered on the client machines. Then it will run fine.

U could always on the execution of your EXE check to see if the dll's are registered on that PC and if not copy from the server location to the workstation and then register the DLL's and then launch the application.
