Creating shared folder using VS2005 setup project

I have a VS2005 setup project, and I am using the File System Editor to
create a folder. Is there any way to set up a windows share for the
folder from within the installer?

There is no built-in functionality to do that.
You can write custom action that will do this.

To create netowk share you can either use WMI or
directly win api ( NetShareAdd )
