You can P/Invoke on NetShareAdd win32 function to add shares.
And if you're under .NET 1.1 you'll have to P/Invoke on Security API to set ACL on shared resources.

If you're under .NET 2.0, take a look at DirectorySecurity class and System.Security.AccessControl...

Benedikt, My apologies for butting into the post but I was wondering if
you had ever found a resolution to your post with the error containing
the string:

\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OLEAUT

I've tried replying to the post but it's over 30 days so It won't allow
me to.

I seem to have the same issue with a .Net2 app on a Citrix server but I
seem to have even less event / error data to work with. My error simply
lists a chunk of an xml configuration files we use to define settings
internal to the application. There is nothing in the event logs.

Thankyou for any help you can give!

Tom
