Can one refer to GAC on a server?

I have a Windows .exe which loads up an assembly from a folder on a
local, internal web server. That .dll, which is the main program,
depends heavily on 3rd party user controls.

Currently, the user controls are installed on the client machine
through the setup program. I want to bypass that and just have the .exe
call up the .dll and the .dll call up the correct user control .dlls
from the GAC on the web server. Is this possible?

The user controls change versions 3 times a year and I want to avoid
re-installing the application on people's machines every time there is
control version change.

Thanks.
