As I understand you are going to INSTALL your application from network. After running Setup.exe the application will be normally installed on WORKSTATION from where you run setup. The directory name pre-defined when you create distribution package (in Setup Wizard) but can be changed during installation. So you have to run this setup once for each workstation.
Surely, you can install application exe on network drive once for all workstation but MS does not recommend it because of network considerations.
