Hi Sebastian,
Thank you very much for the response.
I am using following code snippet for creating file-share:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLATIONDIR" Name="$(var.ProductName)">
<Component Id="ProductComponent"
Guid="7f1d40c6-7366-4b3a-b0e0-59aff11ce19e">
<CreateFolder/>
.............
</Component>
<!-- Creating share folder for storing share info -->
<!-- Grant Read permission to IIS_NETWORKSERVICE and -->
<!-- Grant write permission to Win32ServiceAccount -->
<Directory Name="PUBLICSHARE" Id="D_PUBLICSHARE" >
<Component Id="C_PUBLICSHARE_1" Guid="{GUID}" DiskId="1">
<CreateFolder/>
<util:FileShare Id="S_PUBLICSHARE" Description="PublicShare"
Name="PublicShare">
<util:FileSharePermission User="Win32ServiceAccount"
GenericRead="yes" Read="yes"/>
<util:FileSharePermission User="IIS_NETWORKSERVICE"
GenericRead="yes" Read="yes" />
</util:FileShare>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
This creates the share folder inside [INSTALLLATIONDIR], while taking this
share-folder section outside but inside the logical Directory (the outmost
directory), then it creates the file-share in the root directory of the drive
where the product is been installed.
But I want to create the file-share in the different drives like D:\Share1 or
E:\Share2 , (they are passed as parameter (Property) to MSI. If the physical
directory for the share in the target drive does not exist, I want to create
it, FYI: they all exists in the same machine.)
I am trying to find out the way to do it using FileShare element of WIX 3.0,
Can I perform this using the FileShare element? Or I need to use some scripting
command (i.e. using xcacls.vbs) in a custom action.
I would appreciate any clue.
Thank you,
-Krishna

What does your wix file look like?
FileShare uses the component's directory. If you want to use
different drives for the fileshares your <Directory> structure must
be correct. How do you get those E:\.. and D:\.. folders on the
target system?
