Question:

Is it possible to use the IP address when installing from the share?

Answer:

This is not possible. You must use the computer name, not the IP address.

If you navigate to the share (to install SNA or Examiner) using the IP address of the server then this IP will be placed in the start in path for either SNA or Examiner.

If the IP address of the Server or SNA is changed by DHCP then the shortcut with the old IP will fail to start the application.
