Installing an app: it asks me about something strange...

[Guest tirengarfio]

Hi,

 

during the intallation of an app called andlinux it ask this:

 

"Please create a shared folder and enter the requested information.

 

Name of the Windows file share: (here i have to write)"

 

 

So i go to "Shared documents" and create inside a folder, but when i go to

install process and insert the name of that folder, it says "There is no

share folder with the specified share name".

 

 

What's the problem? What i have to do exactly?

 

 

Bye

What you need to do is create a folder on your hard drive (not in Shared

Documents) and then share it (right-click on it).

Go to properties, sharing. Press F1 for help with sharing a folder. There

are different ways in XP Home and Pro ... simple file sharing is your only

option on Home.
