Network drive path missing drive path resulting in error

[snakesoup88]

Not sure if network drive (NAS) installation is supported. If not, please feel free to close. I have a baller-installer installation on a network drive. I have over 100 tables running fine only if external dmd is disable. When external dmd is enabled, vpinmame errors out with the following dmdDevive.log:

[1] 2024/05/21 00:22:40.545 ERROR | System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'PinMameDevice.DmdDevice' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: /share/vPinball/VisualPinball/VPinMAME/DmdDevice64.dll

The path: /share/vPinball/VisualPinball/VPinMAME/DmdDevice64.dll
Should be something like \MYNAS\share\vPinball\VisualPinball\VPinMAME\DmdDevice64.ini in windows world.

I'm not sure where the dmdext is picking up the path. I can reproduce the same error in dmdext 2.2.1.0 and 2.2.2.0.

Things I have tried:
Running the installer on an older installation: Same error. dmdext test works fine. Path and env var %DMDDEVICE_CONFIG% is set.
Running fresh copy of latest baller installer: version 2.2.1.0. Same error and results.
Rudy's May 2024 update: version 2.2.2.0. Same error and results. Manually set env var %DMDDEVICE_CONFIG% to \MYNAS\share\vPinball\VisualPinball\VPinMAME\DmdDevice64.ini

Please advise a way to set a network drive path.
