Installation: Setup fails or hangs when run from network share with restricted permissions

Description
When the installer is launched directly from a network share, the setup may hang, terminate silently, or fail with generic errors. On the same machine, running the same installer from a local disk completes successfully. This usually relates to execution or write restrictions on network locations.

Solution

1. Copy installer to a local folder
   • Download or copy the setup executable/installer package from the network share to a local drive (for example C:\Installers\Spectrus\).
   • Ensure the user has full read access to that local folder.
2. Run installer with appropriate rights
   • Right‑click and choose “Run as administrator” if local policy or your IT SOP requires elevated rights for software installation.
   • Close other applications that may interfere with installation.
3. Avoid running directly from network paths
   • If a central software distribution system is used, ensure it stages the installer on local storage prior to execution.
4. Coordinate with IT if central deployment is required
   • If group policy prevents local execution or copying from network, work with IT to create an approved deployment method (e.g., software center, SCCM, or similar).
   • Confirm that any antivirus or endpoint security solution is not blocking the installer.
