To do #1, you don't even need the installation, unless you have to register data types or use some data prescribed in system Registry (which I would recommend to avoid unless it is absolutely necessary; you can always use application-specific data in the user profile).

To do #2, you need to have proper connection and sharing. And it may or may not be possible without any installation. It depends on number of factors. First of all, you need to have compatible version of .NET on the remote computer (the one to run the application). It may need to have other products installed. Essentially, if your application depends on some assemblies installed on the GAC, having network access to the computer hosting the application won't be enough. In particular, installing the compatible database client and the .NET binding to it should be done on the remote computer as well.
