I know that you can xcopy a DotNet client server application to your local
hard drive and run the application with no problems. I would like to xcopy
the application to a file server and then have users point to and run the
application from the file server. This way I do not have to install/xcopy
the application to each workstation. But, I can not get this to work.

So the question is: Is this possible? If so, how do you make it work?

By "client server application", do you mean a win form desktop app? If yes,
the answer to your question is yes. However, you need to configure .NET
framework's security settings to allow it. Be default, any .NET code from
outside the running computer is considered as unsafe. You need to give this
type of code appropriate trust in orfer for .NET to run it. You can use .NET
Framework Configuration applet (.NET 1.x) and/or CASPOL.exe to do that.
Search the net or MSDN for "Code Access Security" for more information.
