Vista - Windows Home Server

Is there a way in which Foldershare can be installed properly on Windows Home
Server machines? I can install it, but only refer to hard drive locations,
not to network shares - and the WHS documentation makes clear that referring
to hard drive locations is not wise, as it can lead to file corruption.

If there is anyway to do this, it would be really helpful, effectively
completing the setup I desire.

FolderShare on my WHS because it's already unstable enough as it is <sigh>

My understanding of the risk of writing directly to the HD is that files may
not be migrated across hard drives properly. Since I have a single drive in
my WHS storage pool, that really doesn't bother me. ;-) FolderShare would
appear to be a safer way to use WHS, since it deletes and recreates the file
each time it changes -- the corruption issue is caused by changing a file
in-place. (Of course, single-drive systems are also immune to the corruption
issue.)

I installed FolderShare as Administrator, changed the Preferences to NOT
start when I log in, then used the Server 2003 Resource Kit to have
FolderShare run as a service. It broke briefly when I upgraded to the new
version, because the new version installs the .exe to a different path --
deleting and recreating the service using the new path seems to bring
everything back.
