You're going to have problems referencing files across the network in .net as network resources are untrusted.

I think there's a way to specify a machine as a trusted source, but you're going to have to do the configuration changes on every single machine which runs your app.

You're honestly better off writing a wrapper app that copies the dlls to the local folder then launches the main app. You can have it always copy the newest version to the local directory and have that serve as a poor man's distribution service.

Also, you might want to look at click once as it sounds like you're in a controlled environment. I use it on several projects and it works great.

I'm assuming Windows, so it should suffice to add the folder to the PATH variable. For dll search order see also here.

If that doesn't work you can always load the assemblies dynamically via Assembly.Load()
