Sharing a folder not working on German OS

Hi,

I need to create a shared folder during installation. On my English Windows Server 2003 this works fine, but on my German Windows Server 2003 I get following error:

An error was encountered while sharing 'C:\Programme\Your Company\Your Application\TEST' under name: 'New Share'. Error description: Falscher Parameter (wrong parameter)


Any idea? This happens with a test project I created, all it does is installing a .txt file and the folder I need to share.

Hi,

We have managed to reproduce this behavior on our German test computer. You get that error because you try to set read permissions (default permissions set by AI) for the "Everyone" group and this group does not exist in the German OS (it is localized).

However Advanced Installer should know that "Everyone" and "Administrators" are well known SIDs. This will be fixed for the next version of Advanced Installer which is scheduled for release this week.

Thank you for brining this to our attention.

Regards,
Gigi
