This is what I was trying but it didn't work. It creates the physical folder
named "[BLA]" in the InstalledDIR and creates the file-share on it. It does not
create the D:\Share1 folder but creates a folder named "[BLA]".
Thanks,

I'm not sure if this works, but give it a try:
You can create a new Directory element:
<Directory Name="[BLA]">
<Component>
<FileShare...>
.../>
and call the msi (using msiexec) with the parameter BLA=D:\Share1
The location of the new Directory may be anywhere as the BLA property
is passed with a full path.
