I need to share a folder as NFS mount for an application to pick the files up. My system is running in windows 7 professional edition. Is it possible to share a particular folder as NFS mount? If yes how to do it.

Option 1: use Hanewin NFS http://www.sysprobs.com/configure-set-nfs-share-windows-7-ready-storage-vmware-esx
Option 2:
msiexec /I D:\sfusetup.msi /qb addlocal="NFSServer,NFSServerAuth" \ [targetdir="install path"]
then just right-click on folder -> share -> NFS or
nfsshare -o anon=yes share_name=drive:path
Option 3:

2SFU is not available in Win 7 Pro, (which your option three link makes clear) and link only answers are discouraged. Also, option 3 discussed the NFS client rather than the server although neither will work on Professional edition. I believe Option 1 would work, but it would be better to reproduce the instructions from the link in your answer. Aug 30, 2016 at 23:44

Indeed, it's 7 Pro, not enterprise. I didn't pay attention on it. Aug 31, 2016 at 0:04
If you mean sharing a folder over your LAN, then this should do: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windows/how-share-folders-without-homegroups-in-windows-7-3434911/
Make sure to set the right permissions. Also, I'm pretty sure that this method requires the other computer to enter your credentials at least once, so if it's incapable of doing so (say, a very simple streamer), this may not work for you.

@ssnobody Yes, but the description he gave was very simple, so I gave the simplest method, which will probably work. Note the NAS tag as well. Aug 30, 2016 at 6:21

Perhaps it will work and perhaps not, but the question title and first sentence of the content are explicit in that the OP wants a NFS solution. Your answer is also a link only answer, which is discouraged. Aug 30, 2016 at 23:47

Sounds to me like a specific application is being used that only supports NFS.– ZenexerAug 31, 2016 at 4:05
Add or remove Windows components
dialog. It probably exposes amount
command, just as its predecessors did. I'm not sure if it offers a server, or how to use it, but there's a good chance it's in there somewhere.
