	Well, your mistake is loading it  in Autoexec.bat, it needs to be loaded earlier than that, i.e. either by the boot process or in Config.sys.  To load it at boot time just place it in your root directory (DOS will find it). If it doesn't, then to explicitly load it - put the line  INSTALL=C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE  in your Config.sys file (this assumes that SHARE is in C:\DOS, if not substitute your drive and path).

BTW - the error message is happening prior to running Autoexec.bat, not after.
