Are you dual booting, and cannot share the E instance
of it when booted from E ?
This is how it is, especially for Home.
You could try installing the software to some
other location than Program Files. Generally software
that is installed is worthless to a remote machine
that has not had the components registered on it
during an install, and also writing to Program Files
area other than during install is not supposed to
happen - and for these reasons in Simple sharing
Program Files is unsharable. Besides, this protects
installed software from getting broken by remote
access users writing junk in bad places.
