Hello everybody,
I'm new to NSIS. I would like to know how to make my installation folder (INSDIR) a shared one through my script.

XP tested:

Name "Output"
OutFile "Output.exe"

InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES"
Page directory
Page instfiles

Section
        #Share folder
        nsExec::ExecToLog 'NET SHARE myfolder="$INSTDIR"'
        Pop $0

        #Unshare folder
        nsExec::ExecToLog 'NET SHARE myfolder /DELETE'
        Pop $0
SectionEnd
