Unable to execute exe-files on network-share
Hi,
i recognized that with Raidiator 4.2.17 on Ultra2 it´s no longer possible to access and execute exe-files directly on the network share.
I store a lot of installation files on a network share. On previous versions of Raidiator it was possible to install the programs directly from the exe-files on the share. Now you have to copy them from the NAS to a local folder before installation.
Is this a bug or intention?

- I am having this issue as well. Is this as intended or is there a way to allow it?
- Just add a little more info...
I set up a new computer on my network and I am able to access all the files on my NAS, but unable to execute exe files like installers. The strange thing is that I am able to execute them from the other machines on my network. Any help would be great. This is driving me nuts. - I found for some reason the execute bit was not set on a large number of files in my programs share so I manually (through SSH) re-set the execute bit to on and it fixed it.
