Can you copy the files from the network share to an actual local drive?
I doubt that anything VNC is doing should interfere with the Installer.
Maybe there is something wrong with the network connection to the shared

Which version of VNC are you using?  You might try the TridiaVNC 
version, which has some new compression methods.  Just for the purpose
of mixing things up, it would be helpful to know whether other types
of VNC display the same behavior.
