Here is one way to use a common set of client files:

If the clients (assuming Windows clients) can, map a drive ( We use M:) to a common location ( \\Server_name) ; install The Oracle client to that location using a 'clean' PC for the install..( So Oracle_Home would be something like M:\Oracle\Ora81 )
Export/Save the Registry entries created by the installation ( HKLM/SOFTWARE/ORACLE ) to the common location as a Oracle.reg file.
Have each client map M: to the same location as the installation PC mapped it and add M:\Oracle\Ora81\bin to the PATH of the client machine..
Then DblClick the Oracle.reg files created by the export of the registry entry at each Client to set the registry entries...

Create shortcuts to the executables you want to use ( see the initial installation PC for the details )..

Should work OK..
