When I move all files from c:\Windows\Installer
to E:\SymLinked\Installer
and then do a mklink /J c:\Windows\Installer E:\SymLinked\Installer
, reboot, and then try installing software I get errors like these from installers:
After making the junction, I've even gone to the E:\SymLinked\Installer
and made sure all apparently relevant users have Full Control, but still get the same error.
When I remove the junction and copy the Installer folder back to the Windows folder, installs work again.
I've had it working in the past w/out issue, but it seems after a recent update it started doing this.
Anyone have any ideas?
mklink /d c:\Windows\Installer E:\SymLinked\Installer
? Then move the contents.
