I see you were having no luck elsewhere on your Vista insallation
questions.  

This may help you - maybe.  

[Setup]
....
SourceDir=YourScourceDir
DefaultDirName={pf}\YourCompany\YourProduct
PrivilegesRequired=admin
....

[Files]
; Your program files

Source: YourProduct.exe; DestDir: {app} Flags: ....
....

; Data and other files the users need to read/write
;   assuming you want them under commonappdata

Source: filename.dat; DestDir:
{commonappdata}\YourCompany\YourProduct\Data


[Dirs]
; Add all the folders you need
Name: {app}; Permissions: everyone-readexec

Name: {commonappdata}\YourCompany\YourProduct\Data; Permissions:
everyone-modify

....

[Run]
; Here is where you can create your share (watch for linewrap!)

; First remove the share if it was already there (one line)

Filename: net.exe; Parameters: share YourShareName /delete; Flags:
RunMinimised

; Next create the share, but net.exe takes different parameters in Vista
; So you need both commands plus the version parameter

; Net.exe for pre-Vista (one line)

Filename: Parameters: "share YourShareName
=""{commonappdata}\YourCompany\YourProduct\Data"" /UNLIMITED
/REMARK:""Carlos Database"""; Flags: RunMinimized; OnlyBelowVersion:
