mdbook uninstalls itself when running from a UNC file share

[HendersonSoftworks]

Problem

When running mdbook from a UNC file share and the command "mdbook serve --open" is used, mdbook will uninstall after a change is made. It will print "[INFO] (mdbook::book): Running the html backend" then exit. Running mdbook again will give the error "mdbook : The term 'mdbook' is not recognized... etc".

Steps

1. Open an mdbook project in a UNC file share, e.g. \prod.mycompany.local\mynewguide
2. Run "mdbook serve --open" in Powershell
3. Make a change to a .md file
4. After attempting to rebuild the book and run the html backend, mdbook will exit and uninstall itself from your machine

Possible Solution(s)

Copy the mdbook project to your local machine, do the required work, then copy back over to the file share.
