You need to add shared_products to the PRODUCTS_PATH environment
variable. (This changes to a setting in the config file for zope 2.7,
I don't know exactly what.)
Note that most products work fine in any location on $PRODUCTS_PATH,
with one exception: CMF and related products (like Plone).
There seems to be a bug (reported) in FSDirectoryView which
makes it work only in $INSTANCE_HOME/Products or
$SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products.
