Thank you for reporting this issue. I believe there are not many of our contributors who have a network drive and are willing to spend the time to investigate this issue. I would be fine with declaring this use case as unsupported and requiring a local installation, and closing this ticket.

If you're looking for someone to assist in developing this feature, I'm a professional engineer of 20 years (mostly MSVC and .NET) and I'd be willing to give you a hand.
