View Full Version : SB install to also find local network shared folders

I would like to find local network shares when my workstation install has completed. It is running
as admin.

At the command prompt I can run a command that shows the local networks shares.

Not sure how to do this in SB. It seems that it would be an API call that can be done in SB or in a
Clarion Dll made for the SB install.

The Nettalk chat was inconsistant talking to Win7/8 from other computers. Maybe because I was also
using an XP computer, not sure. I now use a File Lookup and let the end user find the one it needs.
These little old ladies that run and own these stores have a problem with this.

So I want to make it eaiser for the little old ladies by just showing only my shared names or check
each entry in a list of shared names and do my own test to find the correct one.

I'll have to give it some thoughts...

Jim,

I have added a new "Get Shared Resource..." script function to the upcoming
SetupBuilder 8.1. This lets you list Windows shared resources information.
You can retrieve the name of a shared resource, the local path for the
shared resource and the optional comment about the shared resource.

It is always a pleasure to see how you work.
