After 5 installs, I managed to find the exe file, but I can't run it.

    As I said, it's not called Cura.exe, it's called UltiMaker-Cura.exe. CuraEngine.exe is the backend program that actually does the hard work (and as well as being usable from Cura, it can also be run in command line scripts, you just need to specify a zillion different arguments).

     

    It's probably just not designed to be run from a network share. Most of it is written in Python which isn't great at traversing network file systems unless it's specifically designed to.

     

    You could try creating a directory junction on your own computer inside the Program Files directory that points to the install folder.

     

    And if that doesn't work, please be more descriptive than "I can't run it". It should generate a log file in %APPDATA%\cura\5.5\ called cura.log - if you could post that it would help.

     

    If for some reason the environment variable %APPDATA% doesn't exist, points to a folder which doesn't exist, or points to a folder for which you don't have write permissions, that would probably cause it to fail to load (although you'd probably notice it because a lot of other programs store their configuration and such in %APPDATA%).

    I would also advise from installing UltiMaker Cura into a network drive.. thats very much not a supported standard configuration, for really any software..
