Yes, well, I did this in the beginning here in Bata-Bolivia; copying files into the EXE folder on the network machine. It seems to me that Ed's warning about trashing the target system applies mainly to the case where you copy directly to WINDOWS\SYSTEM or WINDOWS. The main problem I had, eventually, was more and more folders with executables - each requiring its own set of DLLs (about 4 MB in each case). Therefore, I created a small installation program (with the Setup Wizard, in VFP 6), to handle the technical details of selecting, copying, registering, etc., the correct DLLs (and other files, like ActiveX controls) to the user machine.
