Hello mtayel,
A couple of things ...
1.- A UNC path describes the location of a volume, directory, or file. The format for a UNC path is not case‐sensitive and is in the form \\server\volume\directory\file.
2.- It causes problems on MS Windows operating systems sometimes as Windows drive letter mappings are arbitrary, whereas a UNC path is specific and applies to all operating systems. It should be noted that the UNC method started with the UNIX operating system. UNIX uses the forward‐slash character as a path separator. Many network services (ex. FTP) have their origins in the UNIX operating system, so they use forward‐slashes instead of the backslashes that DOS/Windows uses. It is important to recognize this distinction when using these services.
3.- If you look in the runtel.pl file you will find the line:
$TM_UNCPATH = $ENV{"TM_UNCPATH"};
which in means that if you have not declared TM_UNCPATH as an environmental variable, it will remain empty.
In the same script you will find that if the -uncpath option is used but that TM_UNCPATH is not defined, it will return an error.
4.- I do not think the PATH is repeated but rather that you can provide the script with a share drive location on your network (double-slashed...) defined by in a UNC convention which will be added to your standard directory structure.
5.- Instead of using the -uncpath option and the environmental variable TM_UNCPATH, I would rather recommend at this stage a small modification to you script runtel.pl as follows (changes highlighted). We will discuss the issue between developper and update the final solution chosen in version v6p2.

You can otherwise try the installation based on Python scripts. Check under Documentations / installations.
Hope this helps,
Sébastien.
