SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to share a folder or drive in Windows 95, you may receive the
following error message:
Sharing: An error occurred while trying to share <share name>. Error
2116. Shared resource was not created at this time.
You may be able to create the share, but it is inaccessible as a network
resource.
CAUSE
=====
You are attempting to share a drive, or a folder on a drive, created using the
SUBST command.
RESOLUTION
==========
Share the folder from the original drive instead of from the drive created using
the SUBST command.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You can use the SUBST command to associate a path with a drive letter. This
creates a "virtual drive" that can be accessed as an additional local drive. For
example, the following sample command creates a virtual drive F that refers to
the C:\MyFolder folder:
subst f: c:\myfolder
The virtual drive you create using the SUBST command (drive F) cannot be shared
as a network resource. You must share the folder on the local drive
(C:\MyFolder).
