Hi ;

May be you can help me. This problem has happened when running a software under Windows XP.

I have an installation script which forces the sharing of a folder (named "Dama") by using the DOS command NET SHARE.

When using this DOS command (through installation process), an Icon indicates that the folder is indeed succesfully shared, however accessing my folder at runtime does not work as I want (can not access the folder).

In order to have no problem with sharing the folder, I was obliged to use (after installation completion and prior running my software) the Windows XP GUI and perform the following:

Folder-> Properties -> Security & Sharing and do a "unshare" followed by a "share".

It is only after I press the "Apply" and "OK" buttons that my software run
normally.

In summary, the "NET SHARE " command "seems" to have the same effect as the GUI-initiated share (display same
effect on the XP UI), but show different functionality ( behaves differently at runtime ).

Thanks in advance;

Kiz.
