Guest hjacobson Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I'm configuring an Asus eeePC, 4 GB SSD (C:) and 8 GB SDHC (D:). The system sees both as fixed drives. I'm working to remove folders from the small C: drive to the much larger D: drive. Using sysinternals JUNCTION.exe I've created symbolic links, to wit: C:\WINDOWS\Installer --> D:\WINDOWS\Installer C:\MSOCache --> D:\MSOCache The re-directed folders work OK when the OS (XP w SP3) handles requests for existing files. However I've witnessed one MSI Installer installation where the symbolic link C:\WINDOWS\Installer is removed and replaced with a folder then populated with the app's .msi installation database file. I've spent several fruitless hours searching for means to make the symbolic link permanent. Any suggestions how to make the symbolic link permanent?
