When installing software, I don't think you can install through the network unless the software specifically tells you that it can. But, if it can, you MUST choose where to install the software.

Instead of clicking through the installer, choose 'Custom Installation' or something similar and choose where you want to install it.

If its a windows application your trying to install on PC B from PC A, then you need to access the computer differently. If you have Windows XP Pro, Vista, or Windows 7, Simply create a user account with a password and enable Remote Connections through the System Link in control panel. Be sure to add your user account to the list of allowed users to connect to PC B. The use the Remote Connection Program, stored in windows under the following name: mstsc.exe

This program allows you to remotely administer the computer and give you access the computers remote desktop, you can then install software from Shared Data locations on PC A From the Remote Console of PC B.

for more information on how to use Remote Connection services check out the Microsoft support Site.
