You "can" run an executable from a shared folder but that depends on the
executable. If it is a setup file it should work however there are viruses
and spyware that will prevent that if you are infected. I'm talking about
installing software on the computer you are in front of when the setup file
is on the remote computer. If you are trying to install that software onto
the remote computer then you have to use the "AT" command which you can run
from your computer. More info on the "AT" command can be found here
