Hi

First, you'll probably have to mount the network directory to a drive
letter, and not use Windows network paths (\\Host\share style), as the
code_server cannot handle Windows network paths (actually it's the
'filename' module's fault, perhaps you'll be able to fix it).

When it comes to the registry, you'll need atleast 4 keys in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ericsson\Erlang\$VERSION subkey:
Rootdir  -   $ERL_ROOT
Bindir   -   $ERL_ROOT/erts-xxx/bin
Emulator -   "jam"
Progname -   "erl"

That should do it.
