share a folder using wise?

Question

Hi,
  
 Could anyone please suggest how to share a folder using wise package studio.
  
 For example, I want to share a folder c:\program files\Talis 
  
 What do I need to do in Wise so that once application is installed this folder is share to maximum allowed people?
  
 Please advise.
  
 Thanks

Answer

I honestly don't think a package is the right place to perform that operation but you could use the NET SHARE syntax or, better, build a script that uses the WMI class Win32_Share. I would imagine somewhere like computerperformance.co.uk would have a suitbale script which you could use as a template.

NET SHARE ORIGINAL: VBScab

Thanks Ian. NET SHARE seems to be working as required....

As ever, a script offers better error-trapping, as opposed to next to none in a command file and definitely none if you're calling NET.EXE directly. I prefer my Custom Actions to know and report whether or not they succeeded.

Answer

Hi,
  
 Include this code in your custom action (call VBScript from embedded code)
  
 [font="courier new"]Const FILE_SHARE = 0
 Const MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS = 25
 strComputer = "."
 Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\" & strComputer & "oot\cimv2")
 Set objNewShare = objWMIService.Get("Win32_Share")
 errReturn = objNewShare.Create ("c:	emp	est", "anySharename", FILE_SHARE, MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS, "any remarks")
 [font="courier new"]if errReturn = "0" then
     wscript.echo "Success"
 else
     wscript.echo "Task Failed"
 end if 
  
 Place the custom action in execute deffered after file copy std action
  
 in case you need to set additional permssions use SetACLS.exe or equivalent executable
